In the early stages of gum disease, your gums may bleed when you brush or floss your teeth. Your gums also can appear red or swollen.
The symptoms of advanced periodontal disease are more noticeable:
▸ Sore, painful gums
▸ Pain while biting and chewing
▸ Bad breath that doesn’t go away
▸ Receding gums
▸ Teeth that feel loose in their sockets
Brushing and flossing every day and visiting Neil R. Cornell, D.D.S. for routine cleanings and examinations is the best way to prevent gum disease. We also provide gum disease treatments in our office.
