What are the signs/symptoms of gum disease?
There are many signs of gum disease but the following are commonly associated with gum disease (also known as periodontal disease).
1. Red, swollen gums.
2. Bleeding gums when brushing and flossing.
3. Loose teeth.
4. Bad breath/foul odor from gums
5. Bone loss. Receding gums typically follow this.
While there are many additional symptoms/signs that can be present during gum disease...the above are most common findings. Interesting enough, there are new studies coming out everyday linking a variety of systemic health problems with gum disease. Consulting with a dentist is the best way to assess for gum disease as well as treatment needed.
