Symptoms of Gum Disease
posted: Jan. 17, 2012.
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a silent disease, meaning that symptoms usually do not arise until the condition is very advanced. Some warning signs of gum disease include the following:
Red, swollen gums
Bleeding gums
Gums that are receding or pulling back from the teeth
Pus between the gums and teeth
Loose teeth
Bad breath
If you have any of these symptoms, see a periodontist for a periodontal evaluation.
