Even in the late stage periodontal disease you may experience few obvious symptoms as the symptoms are often subtle. However, the most common symptoms include:
- Gums that bleed during and after tooth brushing
Red, swollen, or tender gums - Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth.
Receding gums - Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in the way teeth fit together upon biting down (your occlusion)
