What Are the Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?
Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar along the gumlines, leading to a bacterial infection that affects the gums and teeth. When treated properly and in the early stages, gingivitis is reversible. However, if left untreated, it will progress to periodontitis. Periodontitis is a severe infection that causes the gum to recede away from the teeth. It cannot be reversed, only managed. At our office, we’re able to provide treatments throughout every stage of periodontal disease to better manage your oral health. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s essential to schedule a consultation:
- Red, Tender, or Swollen Gums
- Loose Sensitive Teeth
- Pain While Chewing
- Abscesses
- Bleeding After Brushing
- Receding Gums
