Recognizing the Signs of Periodontal Disease

Identifying periodontal disease early is crucial for effective treatment. Our team at Shoal Creek Dental Care is here to help you understand the warning signs. It's important to know what to look for and the names of the periodontal diseases, which are chronic, aggressive, or necrotizing periodontitis.

Be aware of these potential indicators:

• Bleeding Gums: Gums should never bleed, even when you brush vigorously or use dental floss.
• Loose Teeth: Also caused by bone loss or weakened periodontal fibers (fibers that support the tooth to the bone).
• New Spacing Between Teeth: Caused by bone loss
• Persistent Bad Breath: Caused by bacteria in the mouth
• Pus Around the Teeth and Gums: Sign that there is an infection present
• Receding Gums: Loss of gum around a tooth
• Red and Puffy Gums: Gums should never be red or swollen
• Tenderness or Discomfort: Plaque, calculus, and bacteria irritate the gums and teeth

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek professional dental care promptly. Contact Shoal Creek Dental Care for a comprehensive evaluation.
