Stage 4 periodontitis, or advanced periodontitis, is a serious form of gum disease that can result in a great deal of damage to the teeth and gums. It is characterized by the destruction of the gums, connective tissue, and bone that holds the teeth in place. The most common symptoms of stage 4 periodontitis include:

1. Severe Gum Inflammation: The gums become swollen, tender, and may even bleed when touched.

2. Receding Gums: The gums pull away from the teeth, causing an uneven gum line.

3. Loose Teeth: The loosening of the teeth can be felt when biting down or pushing on them.

4. Bad Breath: Halitosis, or chronic bad breath, can be a sign of advanced periodontitis.

5. Tooth Mobility: The affected teeth may become mobile or even fall out.

6. Pain: Pain can be felt when chewing or biting down due to the destruction of the connective tissue and bone.

7. Pus: Pus may form around the teeth due to infection.

It is important to seek treatment for stage 4 periodontitis as soon as possible. Without proper treatment, the disease can cause further damage to the teeth and gums, leading to tooth loss. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to prevent the progression of the disease and preserve the teeth.

Stage 4 periodontitis is the most severe form of periodontal (gum) disease and is characterized by severe destruction of the gums and the underlying bone that supports the teeth. Common symptoms of stage 4 periodontitis include pain, redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, receding gums, loose teeth, bad breath, and a foul taste in the mouth. In some cases, the gum tissue may recede to the point that it is no longer visible, leaving the roots of the teeth exposed. Additionally, the infected gums may trap food particles, leading to an increase in plaque and bacteria, which can cause an unpleasant taste in the mouth and an overgrowth of bacteria. In advanced cases, there may also be a buildup of pus, which can cause pain and discomfort. If left untreated, advanced periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.
