Periodontitis issue
2021 October dental checkup reports says no sign of gingivitis or periodontitis in the teeth of Maxillary molar region. But 2022 , july checkup says MILD PERIODONTITIS in the quadrant of Maxillary posterior region .
I have symptom since December with slight swelling like areas just below teeth but my question is can this condition also cause pain !
I have booked a highly experienced surgeon in next month as last 2 visit ( dec , feb ) when i saw slight swelling in gums at the same region here two dentist just ignored that . .
Can periodontitis cause teeth ache which is suddenly occur ( my recent OPG says no abscess, cyst , tumor or peri apical lesion etc June 6, 2022 ), Lab radiologist but mentioned a slightly elavated mucosa lesion near apex of palatal root of teeth 28 ( soft tissue cilinical examination adviced ) .
As per your query : Yes periodontitis can cause pain. The nature of pain changes from the other causes.
A clinical examination is must to look out for the cause. If the condition keeps persisting you should consult. Take care.
