What does periodontal disease look and feel like?
Periodontal disease may progress painlessly, producing few obvious signs, even in the late stages of the disease. Some indicators of periodontal disease to watch for are: gums that bleed easily or that are red, swollen, or tender, gums that have pulled away from your teeth, pus between the teeth and gums, loose or separating teeth, a change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite, or a change in the fit of partial dentures.
