In the early stages of gum disease, also called gingivitis, you may not notice any symptoms. Once the disease progress to advanced stages, also known as periodontitis, you’ll likely experience the following symptoms:
Bleeding gums
Red and swollen gums
Loose teeth
Persistent bad breath
Pain when chewing
Receding gums
With gingivitis, the effects can be reversed with a thorough dental cleaning at our Warren practice. Once the disease has progressed to periodontitis, Dr. Behbood recommends coming in for more frequent visits to keep your gums free of infection and in pristine condition.
