What Is Periodontal (Gum) Disease?

What Are the Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?

Sometimes, periodontal disease shows no symptoms at all. Once it progresses, bleeding, pain, and swelling of your gums are the most common symptoms. Gum recession, bone loss, and sensitivity also commonly occur.

Have you ever talked to someone and noticed they had bad breath? That is one of the signs of periodontal disease. Having bad breath can adversely affect your social life, career, and love life.

The bacteria that cause gum disease are transferrable through saliva, so if you notice a family member has the symptoms of periodontal disease, it is a good idea to avoid sharing utensils or kissing them. Suggesting they seek dental care to treat their condition can protect the entire family.
