Recognizing the Signs Early
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, often begins with mild symptoms that are easy to overlook. Red, swollen or bleeding gums are common early signs that should not be ignored. Without treatment, gum disease can progress and lead to gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth loss.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent bad breath
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Gum sensitivity or swelling
- Loose teeth or shifting bite
- Gum recession or pockets forming around teeth
Our dentist will perform a thorough evaluation to assess the health of your gums and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
