Do You Know The Symptoms of Gum Disease?

Individuals who suffer from periodontal disease often exhibit very obvious symptoms. These may include:

Chronic Bad Breath

Learn More >>

No matter how much you brush or floss, your breath still has a foul odor. This is due to the build-up of bacteria in the periodontal pockets that have begun to form between your teeth and gums. Without treatment, the bacteria build-up will continue and can destroy soft and hard tissues.

Bleeding Gums

Learn More >>

It is not normal for gums to bleed when you brush your teeth or eat your food. If your gums are bleeding on a daily basis, you need to see Dr. Miner to rule out periodontal disease.

Receding Gums

Learn More >>

Have you noticed that you are looking “long in the tooth”? Gum recession is a big indicator of gum disease. Fortunately, intervention can halt the recession, and laser gum surgery can fix any residual problems and restore the gum line to a natural appearance.

Tooth Sensitivity

Is it getting tougher to drink cold liquids or eat hot foods? Your increased sensitivity could be a symptom of gum disease.

Loose Teeth

Learn More >>

When gum disease has advanced, the teeth may begin to loosen due to surrounding bone loss.

Painful Chewing

Learn More >>

Teeth and gums that are affected by gum disease can make chewing the foods you love painful and uncomfortable. If you experience pain when chewing, you may have gum disease.
