Can You Reverse Periodontal Disease?
It depends on periodontal disease stages. Gingivitis can be fully reversed with proper oral hygiene and treatment. However, once the disease progresses beyond gingivitis, the damage to gums and bone cannot be fully reversed but can be managed effectively with the right periodontal disease treatment.
Periodontal Disease Symptoms
The primary cause is poor oral hygiene leading to plaque build-up, and early symptoms may include:
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Swollen or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Pus between teeth and gums
