Periodontitis may also occur in children where it mostly affects the first permanent molars and incisors. The symptoms of periodontal disease include swelling and bleeding gums, receding gums, exudate(pus) from the gums, halitosis(bad breath), splaying or pushing outwards of the upper front incisors, and mobile loose teeth.
