What are the Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?

The symptoms of periodontal disease vary based on the progression and severity of the infection. In fact, in the early stages of infection, you may not have any symptoms at all. This is why it is important to have regular dental checkups and examinations. In more advanced cases of periodontal disease, symptoms include:


                                                                        • Bloody gums, especially when brushing your teeth
                                                                        • Red or swollen gums
                                                                        • Persistent bad breath
                                                                        • Loose teeth
                                                                        • Pus between the teeth and gums
                                                                        • Changes in your bite


What is Periodontal Disease?


                Initially, the food, bacteria and saliva get mixed together to form a plaque. If plaque is not cleaned away completely by brushing and flossing, the calcium from the saliva hardens the plaque. Then plaque turns into calculus. Calculus causes infection in the tissue and the bone surrounding the teeth. In mild cases, the calculus is in the gumline area and slightly below the tissue. Scaling and root planing can clean above and below the gumline. In more advanced cases, osseous surgery is done to clean the calculus deep inside the tissue below the gumline.

                There are different stages of gum disease. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and is characterized by red, swollen or bloody gums. Periodontitis is the more advanced stage in which the gum tissue and bone can become damaged. Severe cases of periodontitis can lead to permanent tooth loss.

                What factors increase my risk of periodontal disease?

                • Smoking or chewing tobacco
                • Diabetes
                • Certain medications: anti-epilepsy drugs and certain blood pressure medications such as calcium channel blockers
