Periodontitis is caused by bacteria that have been allowed to accumulate on your teeth and gums.

It generally occurs in people with a suppressed immune system, such as from Human Immunodeficiency Viru(HIV), Cancer treatment, and Malnutrition. It is characterized by the death of gum tissue, tooth ligaments and supporting bone caused by lack of blood supply (necrosis), resulting in severe infection. If left untreated, it can cause rapid progression of bone and tooth loss. It usually begins in childhood or early adulthood and affects only a very few people. Gingivitis, when develops pockets and leads to bone and gum loss, is known as chronic periodontitis, affecting mostly adults.

Gingivitis can be reversed with the right professional treatment and good at-home oral care. If left untreated, these deep infections can cause loss of gum tissue and bone, and eventually, you may lose one or more teeth. Over time, these pockets may become deeper, filling them with more bacteria. Gingivitis causes irritation and inflammation of the part of your gum around the base of your teeth (gingiva), gradually causing pockets to develop between your gums as well as teeth, which can be filled with Plaque, Tarter, and bacteria. It is usually the result of poor oral hygiene.īrushing at least twice daily, flossing and getting regular dental check-ups will go a long way in keeping pyorrhea and oral conditions at bay. Periodontitis, though very common, is largely a preventable disease. Periodontitis is the most common reason for gum bleeding. Pyorrhea or Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that causes damage to the gums and destroys the bone that supports the teeth. Hormonal Changes during Pregnancy and Puberty can Cuse Gum Bleeding.
