Gum disease is silent — until it isn't.
Gum disease (periodontal disease) doesn't always hurt, so it's easy to miss without regular check-ups. Over time, untreated gum disease can lead to receding gums, loose teeth and infection.
The good news: with regular dental hygiene visits, good brushing and flossing, gum disease can usually be stopped early — and even reversed in its earliest stage.
Signs you shouldn't ignore.
The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:
- 01Red, swollen or tender gums
- 02Bleeding when you floss or brush
- 03Loose teeth or gaps opening up
- 04Persistent bad breath
- 05Gums pulling away from the teeth
- 06A change in how your teeth meet when you bite
