Periodontal disease is terrible for your gums and the bond that help to support your teeth. Plaque must be removed, or tartar will form there. When they are not removed properly, they can begin to destroy the gums and the bone around them. A periodontist from North County Dental Care can provide gum treatment that helps to maintain our patients’ oral health efficiently.
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
Some of the most common signs and symptoms of gum disease include:
- Bleeding gums
- New spacing between teeth (due to bone loss)
- Loose teeth (due to bone loss or weakened fibers that support the tooth to the bone)
- Red puffy gums
- Receding gums
- Tenderness
- Pus
- Bad breath
Our dentist can examine your teeth and gums if you show signs of gum disease to diagnose you properly. The disease is generally pain-free in the early stages, making it important to have regular dental examinations to be checked for this before it progresses. Poor gum health also may lead to other serious health problems such as stroke, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more. This makes it important to maintain your oral health regularly, for patients of all ages.
