Your Gums May Be in Trouble Even When Your Teeth Are Just Fine
It’s pretty easy to notice when a tooth isn’t doing well. A sharp twinge with something cold, a tooth that suddenly hurts when you bite: pain gets your attention. Your gums don’t always give you those same signals when trouble is brewing. They may start bleeding more easily, look puffier than normal, or gradually start pulling away from a tooth without causing any discomfort.
