5 Signs You Might Have Periodontal Disease (and What to Do About It)

Periodontal disease — also known as gum disease — is one of the most common (and underdiagnosed) health issues in adults. Over 47% of adults aged 30 and older already have some form of it, often without realizing it. Left untreated, it can lead to gum loss, tooth loss, and even increase the risk of systemic issues like diabetes and heart disease. Here are 5 red flags that may mean you’re already on the path to periodontal disease.

1. Bleeding Gums When You Brush or Floss

This is one of the earliest and most obvious signs. If your gums bleed easily, it’s likely you’re experiencing gingivitis, the earliest form of gum disease.

2. Chronic Bad Breath or a Bad Taste in Your Mouth

Bacteria buildup from gum infections often leads to persistent bad breath that doesn’t go away with brushing or mints.

3. Red, Swollen, or Tender Gums

Inflamed gums are a sign your immune system is fighting an infection. Healthy gums should be pink, firm, and pain-free.

4. Gum Recession or Teeth Appearing Longer

If your gums are pulling away from your teeth, it could be a sign that the tissue and bone beneath are deteriorating — a key marker of periodontitis.

5. Loose Teeth or Changes in Bite Alignment

This is a sign that the disease has progressed. You’re at risk of tooth loss if the supporting bone structure has weakened.
