Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and tissues that support the teeth. The two main symptoms of periodontal disease are:

Gum Inflammation: Inflammation of the gums is one of the earliest signs of periodontal disease. The gums may be swollen, tender, and may bleed easily when brushing or flossing.

Tooth Mobility: As the disease progresses, the bones and ligaments that support the teeth may become weakened, causing the teeth to become loose. In advanced stages of the disease, teeth may even fall out.

Two common symptoms of periodontal disease are red, swollen gums and bad breath. Red, swollen gums may be tender or painful when touched, and may also bleed when brushing or flossing. Bad breath is often a result of bacteria buildup in the mouth and can be a sign of gum disease. Other symptoms may include receding gums, loose teeth, and changes in the fit of dentures. If any of these symptoms are present, it is important to visit a dentist for a professional evaluation.

Periodontal disease is a serious infection of the gums and surrounding tissues of the teeth that can cause a range of symptoms. The two most common symptoms of periodontal disease are gum inflammation and gum recession.

Gum inflammation, or gingivitis, is the earliest stage of periodontal disease. It is characterized by red, swollen, tender gums that bleed easily. The gums may also be sensitive to touch and may recede slightly away from the teeth. This is caused by the bacteria in plaque buildup irritating and damaging the gum tissue.

Gum recession is a more advanced symptom of periodontal disease. It occurs when the gums begin to pull away from the teeth, exposing the roots and creating pockets between the teeth and gums. This makes it easier for bacteria to accumulate, leading to further damage to the gums and surrounding tissues. The gums may also appear darker in color due to the recession.

If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause further damage to the gums and teeth, leading to tooth loss and other serious complications. It is important to consult your dentist if you experience any of these symptoms so that the proper treatment can be prescribed.

Symptoms of periodontal disease can vary depending on the stage and severity of the condition. Generally, signs of periodontal disease include red, swollen, and tender gums, as well as receding gums, bad breath, and bleeding during brushing or flossing. Additionally, it is possible to experience pain when chewing, sensitivity, loose teeth, tooth loss, and changes in the fit of dentures. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to contact your dentist for a professional diagnosis.
