Look no further....: ... The answers you seek can be found at your local dentist. The symptoms you describe are indicative of periodontal problems, but can also be caused by other things, including meds and systemic imbalances. Without an exam, full med history, and radiographs, no accurate diagnosis can be made. You know what to do... Make that call.
