Symptoms of Gum Disease
At True Dentistry Plus in Miami, FL, we specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease. Periodontal disease affects a significant portion of adults and, if left untreated, can lead to serious oral health issues, including tooth loss and bone degradation. Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to manage and treat gum disease effectively.
Periodontal disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If not adequately removed, plaque hardens into tartar, which can lead to inflamed gums, bleeding, and the development of deep pockets between gums and teeth, potentially resulting in bone and tooth loss.
Often silent until it becomes severe, periodontal disease may not cause pain in the early stages, making regular dental check-ups crucial. Symptoms to watch for include:
Bleeding and Swollen Gums
Often one of the first signs of gum disease.
Tender or Receding Gums
Gums that pull away from the teeth.
Persistent Bad Breath
Caused by the bacteria in plaque.
Loose Teeth or Pus
Indicators of advanced periodontal disease.
Changes in Bite or Tooth Alignment
Can occur as gums and bones become less supportive.
