In the early stages of periodontitis, the patient may complain of:

 Recession – gums recede, and teeth may be hot and cold sensitive.

 Halitosis or a bad taste due to accumulation of bacteria in pockets and pus formation.

In the advanced stage of periodontitis, the patient may complain of:

 Drifting/mobility – loose/moving teeth.

 Pain (sometimes – from periodontal abscess).

 Pus oozing from pockets.
