What Are the Symptoms of Gum Disease?

In this video, Dr. Ruedi Tillmann explains the warning signs of gum disease and why early treatment is essential. Patients from Ogden and Greater Salt Lake City can schedule a free consultation at our Kaysville office to safeguard their oral health.

Gum disease is often referred to as a “silent” condition because most people are unaware they have it until it reaches an advanced stage. Pain is typically not a symptom until the disease becomes severe. However, there are early warning signs to watch for.

These include persistent bad breath, heavy buildup of calculus (hardened plaque), yellowing teeth, swollen or red gums, and bleeding, especially during brushing or flossing. If you notice any of these symptoms, it may indicate gum disease.

Recognizing these signs early and seeking treatment promptly is essential to prevent further progression and maintain your oral health. Regular dental checkups and proper home care are vital in managing and preventing gum disease.
