Because other dental problems can lead to similar symptoms in your dog, excluding them before establishing a diagnosis of periodontitis is important.

Gingivitis is a precursor to periodontitis and looks similar, but does not have deep pockets.

Endodontic lesions, which can be mixed with or can be precipitated from periodontal lesions, may be present.

Periapical (surrounding the tooth) abscesses, fractured teeth, and any other cause of tooth pain may be present.

Fractured mandible, secondary to periodontal disease, may be present.
