If I have periodontal disease (gum disease) why don’t my gums hurt?

Periodontal disease affects the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth. Your gums will be red and bleed easily, but you may become accustomed to the irritation and the soreness can be minimal. Bone has no pain receptors. The destruction of supporting bone can progress without pain until the teeth are loose and it is too late to treat the disease. It is imperative that gum disease be detected and treated early to minimize the loss of bone support.
