Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease may include:
Swollen gums
Bright red or purple gums
Gums that feel soft to the touch
Gums that pull away from teeth (recession), when the teeth look longer than usual
Development of new spaces between teeth
Pus between teeth and gums
Halitosis
Bad taste in mouth
Loose teeth
A change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
There are different types or classes of periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis is the most common class, primarily affects adults, but children can be affected too. Aggressive periodontitis usually begins in childhood and adulthood and affects only 1 to 2 percent of the population.
When you see a dentist
Healthy gums are firm and pale pink. If your gums are swollen, dark red and bleed easily, or show other signs or symptoms of periodontal disease, see your dentist as soon as possible. The faster you get treatment, the better chance you have of reversing the damage to periodontal disease and to prevent other serious health problems.
