How Do I Know if I Have Gum Disease? Gum disease can occur at any age, but it is most common amongst adults. If detected in its early stages, gum disease can be reversed - so see your dentist if you notice any of the following symptoms:
Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
Gums that are red, swollen and puffy.
Teeth that look longer because your gums have receded
Gums that have separated, or pulled away, from the necks of your teeth, creating a pocket
Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
Pus coming from between your teeth and gums
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
