How long can you live with gum disease?
My gums bleed sometimes when I brush, and a friend said it might be gum disease. I've been neglecting my dental hygiene a bit. I'm curious, how long can you live with gum disease if it's not severe?

Gum disease won't shorten your life directly, but it can cause painful tooth loss and other infections. Just get a proper dental cleaning done soon.
Beta, you can live a long life, but bad gums make eating very difficult in old age. I always suggest doing warm saltwater gargles twice a day and oil pulling with sesame oil. But do visit a dentist to get the deep tartar cleaned properly.
I totally get it, bleeding and swollen gums can be so frustrating and painful. It won't affect your lifespan, but the constant discomfort really ruins your mood. Please see a dentist soon because once they do a professional scaling, you will feel so much better.
Actually yaar, gum disease is super common and won't affect your life expectancy. But honestly, who wants to deal with bad breath and loose teeth? Just go get scaling done at a local clinic, it takes like thirty minutes only.

Please don't worry too much about this. It is a very common issue and doesn't affect your overall life expectancy if you take basic care. Just focus on brushing twice daily and get a dentist to check it once.
