Symptoms of Gum Disease

Although over 85% of the population have some level of gum disease, the symptoms are often difficult to detect. Gums can recede, leaving teeth vulnerable to decay, abscesses and loss – without bleeding or tenderness. Dr. Murray uses his advanced training and the latest technology to diagnose periodontal disease and treat it before it becomes a major threat to your health. Minor symptoms to watch for at home include:

• Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  
• Puffiness or tenderness of the gums
  
• Halitosis or bad breath
  
• Loose feeling teeth
