What are the symptoms of periodontal infection?
Because periodontal infection grows under your gums, you can have no symptoms at all. More advanced cases can result in some of the following symptoms: • Red, swollen or tender gums • Tooth sensitivity to heat/cold • Bad breath • Deep pockets around the teeth • Spaces between the teeth • Loose or shifting teeth • Missing teeth • Gums receding around the teeth (longer looking teeth) For more information, please see the section on Periodontal Disease under Patient Education.
