As previously mentioned, a bleeding, tender, or receding gum line can be signs of an infection. However, these are not the only symptoms you may experience. Many patients don’t realize that things like chronic or persistent bad breath can be an indicator that there is too much bacteria in your mouth.
Other than these few signs, you may have loose teeth or they may have shifted which may make you feel as though your feet aren’t fitting together correctly anymore. You may also feel pain when you try to bite or chew food, as well as feeling sensitivity to extreme temperatures.
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms lately (whether you’re brushing your teeth or not), it’s worth a phone call to your dentist. They’ll want to examine your mouth to see if an infection is present, but the earlier you’re able to catch the bacteria, the less likely it is to spread and the easier it is to treat.
