Early signs of gum disease include red or swollen gums, foul breath or taste, tender or bleeding gums, uncomfortable eating, loose teeth, sensitive teeth, and receding gums. Gum diseases can be avoided by practicing good oral hygiene (brushing twice daily), flossing on a regular basis, using antimicrobial mouthwashes, eating a nutritious diet, not smoking, drinking alcohol, or using tobacco, and visiting the dentist on a regular basis.

The early stages of gum disease are called gingivitis. Signs include red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush or floss. It's usually caused by poor oral hygiene. Good dental care, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, can often reverse gingivitis.
