Common Signs & Symptoms

It is extremely important to note that periodontal disease can progress without any signs or symptoms such as pain.  This is why regular dental checkups are exceptionally important. Described below are some of the most common signs and symptoms of periodontitis.

If you have any of these signs or symptoms, the advice of a general dentist or periodontist should be sought as soon as possible:

• Unexplained bleeding
  
• Pain, redness or swelling
  
• Longer-looking teeth
  
• Bad breath/halitosis
  
• Loose teeth/change in bite pattern 
  
• Pus
