At the dental office of Dr. Timothy Kitzmiller DDS, we'll tell you it's easy to tell when you have a cavity; but unfortunately, gum disease can exist in your mouth without you even knowing. In fact, you can have the beginning stages of gum disease without noticing any pain or discomfort. Since gum disease can be undetectable, it’s important to watch for warning signs in order to prevent the disease from worsening!Signs to watch for:
• Gums that appear red or swollen
• Gums that feel tender
• Gums that bleed easily (during brushing or flossing)
• Gums that recede or pull away from the teeth
• Persistent halitosis, or bad breath
• Loose teeth
• Any change in the way teeth come together in the biting position
If you are having these symptoms, schedule an appointment right away by calling Dr. Kitzmiller and our team, serving the greater Cincinnati area. We can diagnose the problem and begin treatment to save your teeth and give you back a healthy mouth!
We look forward to seeing you!
