When the gums recede, the teeth look longer, or gaps appear that were not there before, it is important to have a periodontal examination.
Periodontitis affects the tissues that support the teeth and can progress for a long time without significant pain. Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession and loose teeth are symptoms that need to be evaluated.
Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and may include scaling, deeper periodontal cleaning and regular monitoring.
