Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a very common dental problem. Like most dental problems, it is best if gum disease is treated as early as possible as the condition will only worsen as it progresses.
Most signs and symptoms of gum disease are noticeable even before a trip to the dentist. Patients will note redness and swelling of the gums, gum recession, or soreness/bleeding while brushing and flossing teeth.
