Warning Signs of Gum Disease

Gum disease often develops silently. Look out for these warning signs:

  • Bleeding gums – When brushing, flossing, or eating
  • Red or swollen gums – Healthy gums should be pink and firm
  • Persistent bad breath – That does not improve with brushing
  • Receding gums – Teeth appearing longer than before
  • Loose teeth – Movement or shifting of teeth
  • Pain when chewing – Discomfort or sensitivity

Do not ignore these symptoms. Early treatment can prevent tooth loss and serious complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs include bleeding gums when brushing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these, book a check-up promptly.

Is gum disease treatment painful?

Modern gum disease treatment is generally comfortable. We use local anaesthesia for deep cleaning procedures. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after treatment.

Can gum disease be cured?

Gingivitis (early gum disease) can be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. Advanced periodontitis cannot be cured but can be managed effectively to prevent further damage.

How often should I have periodontal maintenance?

Patients with gum disease typically need professional cleaning every 3-4 months instead of the standard 6 months. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your condition.

Does the medical card cover gum treatment in Ireland?

HSE Medical Card covers basic dental treatments including some periodontal care. Contact our Dublin clinic to check what treatments you may be entitled to under your card.
