How Do I Know If I Have Gum Disease?

Symptoms of gum disease include red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Moreover, the first stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, is indicated by bleeding gums during routine hygiene tasks like brushing and flossing. As the disease progresses, you may experience receding gums and shifting or loosening teeth. Therefore, it’s vital that you treat your gum disease as quickly as possible to prevent further damage to your oral health. Otherwise, you could face tooth or bone loss. Additionally, be sure to see your dentist regularly to avoid the development of gum disease, and make an appointment as soon as you notice any signs of the disease. Ultimately, a dentist will be able to diagnose the issue and provide appropriate treatment.
