Signs of Gum Disease
Bleeding gums are one of the most well-known signs of gum disease. However, you may not experience this right away. Other signs may present including:
- Gum tenderness
- Swollen gums
- Stubborn bad breath
- Loose teeth
- Pain or sensitivity in gums
- Pockets forming between teeth and gums
Some of the symptoms above are quite severe and appear later in gum disease. The earlier you catch it, the better the outcome. The best way to uncover gum disease early is to visit the dentist for regular cleanings and checkups.
