A member asked:
Does periodontitis involve pain in the gums when brushing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It May Vary: Periodontal disease may involve several structures associated with the teeth and supporting bone. The degree and/or severity of the periodontal disease, as well as the individual pain tolerance level each person has, may be factors that can produce pain when brushing. Early diagnosis and treatment as indicated is strongly recommended.
