General Health Information

Healthy gums with no gum disease symptom
are pink and firm and do not bleed easily. Even if you don’t notice any
gum disease symptom, you may still have some degree of the disease.
Some people have gum disease only around certain teeth, such as those
in the back of the mouth, which they cannot see. Periodontal disease
may progress painlessly, producing few obvious gum disease symptoms,
even in the late stages of the disease. It is considered to be a
“silent” disease because there are usually no gum disease symptoms – at
least not until your teeth become loose and fall out. If you want to
keep your teeth, be on the lookout for any early gum disease symptom.
