Swollen or bleeding gums
Healthy gums do not bleed.
It is one of the maxims we repeat at Amparo Lorca Clínica Perios, because many people still treat bleeding when brushing as normal, or notice swollen gums without knowing it may be the first sign of periodontal disease.
Spotting it in time can make the difference between keeping your teeth or losing them.
That is why today we answer a key question: when should you visit a periodontist?
What does a periodontist do and when do you need one?
The periodontist is the specialist in the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. If you have inflammation, bleeding, loose teeth or persistent bad breath, they are the person who should assess you.
At our clinic, Dr Amparo Lorca leads a team of periodontal experts with more than 25 years of experience treating everything from simple cases to the most complex.
🚨6 warning signs you should not ignore
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Gums that are swollen, red or receding
- Teeth that look “longer” or move
- Bad breath that does not go away
- Pain or discomfort when chewing
- Pus between the tooth and the gum
Important: in smokers there may be no bleeding even when disease is present. In fact, when they stop smoking, the signs can appear after a few weeks.
All these symptoms can indicate gingivitis (the initial stage) or periodontitis (more advanced). The sooner action is taken, the simpler the treatment will be.
