The tooth is supported by a tissue called periodontium.
Periodontium is prone to bacterial infections that arise from the bacterial plaque. Oral bacteria feed on the food we consume and form plaque over the teeth. Bacterial plaque is the cause of a number of teeth problems. Bacteria from the plaque can affect the surrounding tissues of the tooth.
Bleeding gums are mainly due to inadequate plaque removal from the teeth at the gum line. This leads to a condition called gingivitis or inflamed gums.
Any gum disease is characterized by Gum bleeding. The inflammation of the gum margin around the necks of the teeth can lead to bleeding. The initial signs of bleeding from the gums should be taken as a signal of a gum problem. If plaque is not removed through regular brushing and dental appointments, it will harden into tartar. Ultimately, this will lead to increased bleeding and a more advanced form of gum and jawbone disease known as periodontitis
Periodontal diseases are of two types: gingivitis and periodontitis.
Periodontal disease can affect tissues in the mouth. If left untreated, it can result in extreme condition of teeth fall or even removal.
Gingivitis or gum disease is characterized typically by Gum bleeding. It is an inflammatory disease of the gums and surrounding tissue. Bad breath is normally the phenomenon of gum disease. This was also referred to as pyorrhea in the olden days.
The consequence of these infections ranges from bleeding gums, redness of the gum, bad breath, and loose teeth to early loss of teeth. If gingivitis is not treated, it will lead to a more severe form of periodontal disease called periodontitis.
Periodontitis, if left untreated, can lead to tooth extraction which is painful and traumatic. Therefore it is essential to visit the dentist for treatment.
Gum bleeding is also common in pregnancy. Hormonal changes weaken the connective tissue in the gums, making them softer. An increase in blood flow causes bleeding. Stress and smoking are other factors that trigger bleeding of gums.
