The Symptoms of Gum Disease
Millions of people in the U.S. currently live with gum disease but are unaware of its presence and effect on their oral health. If you don’t recognize the symptoms, the infection could spread, resulting in serious issues forming throughout your mouth and body.
To avoid remaining in the dark about your gum disease, here are some of the most common symptoms you might experience:
- Bad breath or halitosis that does not go away with brushing or flossing
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Redness and tenderness of the gum tissue
- Gums that are receding (pulling away from teeth, causing teeth to appear longer)
- Improper bite alignment
- Pus forming between the teeth and gums

Scaling & Root Planing
When gum disease symptoms are no longer reversible, deep cleaning must be the next step to prevent tooth and bone loss. To treat a more advanced stage known as periodontitis, we can use scaling and root planing. By eliminating hardened plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline as well as smoothing out the tooth roots to minimize the chances of reinfection, we can encourage these soft oral tissues to reattach and heal over time.
