Did you know that the odds of fully recovering from a shark attack are substantially higher than the odds of fully eliminating gum disease after it has advanced? You’re also a great deal more likely to encounter the danger of gum disease than you ever would a hungry or curious shark. That’s why I’d like to send you a reminder of what to be aware of when it comes to preventing and spotting gum disease when it surfaces like a shark fin. If you spot any of the following gum disease warning signs, please make a call and schedule an appointment for a periodontal screening.
- Your gums bleed during or after your brushing and flossing.
- Your gums appear red, swollen and tender, frequently feel sore, and/or appear to be receding from your teeth.
- You experience bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, especially a short time after you’ve brushed or used mouthwash.
- Your teeth feel loose or can be physically moved in the gum bed.
- You’ve notice any changes in your bite alignment, the fit of any restorative or prosthetic dental work.
Remember, gum disease can be present without any obvious warning signs, which is one of many reasons it’s so important to visit for regular checkup exams.

Gum disease is a periodontal disease that leads to tooth loss. One of my friends lost multiple teeth due to his gum disease and he had to go for dental implant in last month. Therefore people should know the symptoms of gum disease at early stage so that they can take necessary action to get rid of it. The symptoms of gum disease which you have mentioned in your post will help people a lot.
