Many researches and studies reported a great importance of periodontal care and recommended an evaluation with the periodontist if a person is experiencing any of the following symptoms that may be signs of periodontal disease:

• Swollen, tender and/or red gums. Many times the gums will bleed easily when brushing and flossing the teeth.
• Any area in the mouth where the gum appears to have pulled away from a tooth or teeth. Often times this can result in feeling like the teeth are becoming loose, which can be a symptom of separating teeth.
• Pus between the teeth and gums is a serious indication of periodontal disease and needs to be seen as soon as possible.
• Persistent bad breath is another symptom of periodontal disease.
• A change in the bite pattern. This is an indication that the teeth are changing how they fit together and needs to be looked at.
• Also, any soreness or irritation in the mouth that doesn’t clear up in a matter of a few weeks should be examined by a periodontist.

WorlDental.org, popular dental health magazine dedicated to keeping everyone the up to date on the latest researches and articles about teeth and gums, advises to read more about periodontal care and address your dentist or periodontist in following situations:

Pregnancy and Oral Care

Dental magazine strongly advises women who are thinking of becoming pregnant to seek out a periodontist. They explain that women who have periodontal disease are many more times likely to have premature and underweight babies versus women who have no history of periodontal disease. “Pregnancy gingivitis” is experienced by about half of pregnant women and regular checkups with a periodontist are advised. Note that women who practice good oral hygiene and have no history of gingivitis before becoming pregnant are highly unlikely to experience these conditions during pregnancy.

Genetics and Periodontal Disease

WorlDental.org reported latest ADA (American Dental Association) studies suggested that periodontal disease bacteria can be passed on through saliva. This puts families at risk of contracting this condition because of intimate and constant contact between children and couples.

Periodontal Disease Linked to Other Diseases

There is ongoing research that shows a strong connection between periodontal disease and heart and respiratory disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. Periodontal disease produces a bacteria that travels through the blood stream, threatening other parts of the body; healthy gums may mean a healthier body as a whole.

Periodontists and Tooth Repairs

For missing teeth, bridge or even dentures, dental health magazine recommends seeing a periodontist to discuss the option of dental implants if seeking a more natural look.
