I'm 31 years old. I've been told I have a genetic gum disease, and that I have several gum pockets, some 10mm (two I think). I've been told that I need to have gum surgery, including bone regeneration.
But if this is a genetic disease, does that mean that these operations are only a temporary solution? If so, how long can I expect this to last? I realize that it's different for different people, but I'd like a rough estimate. I don't think I can afford surgery every 2-3 years, but if it's every 10 years, that would be more reasonable.
Thanks.
