Answers to your questions about gum disease
What does gum disease look like?
The most obvious visual signs of gum disease are bright red, swollen gums and bleeding when you brush or floss. Other visual cues include teeth that start to look longer (called gum recession) and small black triangles between your teeth.
Does gum disease hurt?
Because periodontal disease causes inflammation, it can be painful. You may notice your gums feel tender to the touch or achy, no matter what you’re doing.
Can a saltwater rinse cure a gum infection?
Although not an end-all solution, a saltwater rinse is a good way to soothe irritated gums. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 oz. of lukewarm water and swish gently before spitting it out.
Who treats gum disease?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease and oral inflammation. When you’re suffering from gum disease, the best person to talk to is a periodontist.
