Symptoms of Gum Disease

The signs and symptoms of gum disease are quite often silent. What does this mean? You will not know about the disease until it has reached an advanced stage of the disease. Warning sign of gum ( periodontal ) disease include the following:


  • Red, swollen gums that may be tender/painful
  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing.
  • Gums that are receding. This results in teeth that look longer than before.
  • Loose teeth
  • Drifting/moving teeth
  • Pus
  • Sores
  • Bad breath
