In the early stages of gum disease, called gingivitis, you may not notice any symptoms. Once the disease progresses to advanced stages, called periodontitis, you’ll likely experience the following symptoms:
- Bleeding gums
- Red and swollen gums
- Loose teeth
- Persistent bad breath
- Painful chewing
- Receding gums
With gingivitis, the effects can be reversed with a thorough cleaning at our Luck dental office. Once the disease has progressed to periodontitis, our dentists will recommend coming in for more frequent visits to keep your gums free of infection and in optimal condition.
