Im not sure if i have periodontal disease?


They say you have the disease if you have :

a. Gum Recession and Spaces Between the Teeth that Weren't there Before
b. Bleeding Gums
c. Bad Breath
d. Reddened Gums
e. Loose Teeth

My gums dont bleed, i dont have Gum Recession, my gum is pinkish. But then I get bad breath occasionally and my teeth are a little loose. So do i have the disease?

But i dont get bad breath that often . I get them like only after i eat junkfood xD..

You need to see a dentist! The bad breath could actually be from stomach problems not necessarily the mouth. Heres hoping you don't have to have falsies.

Both of those are symptoms - so yes.

A periodontist can help you with that. If your teeth are loose, chances are you may have some beginning gum disease.

I'm a nurse. It's hard to say without seeing you myself. I would see a dentist to find out. You deserve the best care you can get, you are worth it, right?

i had to have 2 teeth pulled because of the periodontal disease.Please see a dentist.

I highly doubt you have something as severe as periodontal disease. Go to a dentist to find out though. Don't try to diagnose your own problems, as you might end up thinking you have something worse than what you really do.

I would be very concerned about loose teeth. There are some medications that cause your teeth to fall out also. So please, make a dental appointment asap!

If you have receding gums, you have gum (periodontal) disease.

If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth with normal brushing, you have gum disease.

Normal gums are pink in color. Occasional bad breath is not a sign of gum disease. Loose teeth can be a sign of other problems, not just gum disease.

If you are concerned, see your dentist.
