Symptoms of PERIODONTITIS
Periodontitis produces red, swollen gums. They gradually become recessed where they attach to the teeth. Secondary bacterial infections can lead to oozing from around the teeth. An unpleasant taste in the mouth and bad breath often occurs. The gums may easily bleed. The teeth may become loose or fall out. Hot, cold and sweet foods may produce pain in the affected teeth. If an abscess occurs, it will lead to increased swelling and redness around a particular tooth. A collection of pus will develop. Fever and tender, swollen lymph nodes in the neck may develop.
