Periodontal Disease

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE PERIODONTAL DISEASE?

It's possible to have periodontal disease without apparent symptoms.  That's why regular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are very important.

Several warning signs can signal a problem.  If you notice any of the following, see your dentist:

• Gums that bleed easily

• Red, swollen, or tender gums

• Gums that have pulled away from your teeth

• Persistent bad breath

• Pus between the teeth and gums

• Loose or separating teeth

• A change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite

• A change in the fit of partial dentures
