Gingivitis is a serious chronic condition caused by the long-term effects of plaque, a sticky material made of a build up of bacteria, mucus and food debris and hard plaque (tartar).
Most of us have some degree of gingivitis from time to time
Consistent dental care can turn it around and prevent serious issues.
Whilst gingivitis is restricted to your gums, periodontal disease spreads into the tissue and bone that support your teeth.
It causes gum tissue to be raw and to have the appearance of pulling away from your teeth.
You may also notice pus in between your teeth and around your gums.
Yellow secretions between your teeth is bad, you're running the risk of tooth loss or tooth death (even a root canal can't save the tooth's foundation).
Left untreated, periodontal disease can spread to the point where you could lose some, or even all of your teeth.
One of the most serious explanations for bleeding gums is a bleeding disorder, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
With ITP bleeding and bruising are signs of your blood's inability to clot, gums and mouth are frequently the first place where symptoms appear.
Along with bleeding, you might also notice pinpoint bruises on your gums and frequent nosebleeds.
