Gum Infection Symptoms

One of the worrying things about gum disease is that there are often no symptoms until the problem has developed significantly.

In the early days of gum disease, it is unlikely that a patient will notice anything untoward. This is why it is so important to visit a dental professional regularly. This is because a dentist is trained to notice initial signs that would go unnoticed to the untrained eye.

Gum Infection Symptoms

As the problem develops, patients may experience the following symptoms:

• Bleeding gums, especially when brushing. Gums may also feel sore, swollen, or tender.
• Pain and discomfort when chewing.
• A bad taste or smell in the mouth that will not go away.
• Sudden or increased sensitivity of the teeth that was not there before.
• Teeth feel like they are coming loose.
• Receding gums or the appearance of the teeth becoming more elongated.
