Does everyone get periodontitis?

Jack6400

And around what age do most start to develop it? Does everyone have so much trouble with it that it is destroying your life? Cause to me i'm living more than a year with this Chronic infection and i can't get rid of it. Other statistics are very welcome.

I don't understand it. Why did evolution make this possible? It's killing me. Maybe I have an underlying cause.
