toothpicks and other foreign objects. Teeth picking
leads to the formation around the teeth of pathological gingival
pockets in which microorganisms accumulate more easily and more
more favorable flowing inflammation destroying small vessels that
bleed. Irregular or improper tooth brushing creates
conditions for the formation of tartar, which moves the tooth away from
gums that causes bleeding.

often lead to blood thinning, as well as gum bleeding
should be described in side effects. One of these drugs is
aspirin. Most often, when you stop the course of the drug, with such
properties, bleeding will stop. Similarly manifest themselves

sore throats - less often the causes are rooted in chronic gum trauma,
crown or denture.

strong dental deposits. Further, these deposits will turn into dental
stone, where microbes get even more comfortable conditions. Process

bacterial, gingivitis can be viral – herpetic or
fungal (candidal).

vessels. In this process, not only there is an increased
bleeding gums, but the tooth can loosen, worsen
nutrition of the alveolar jaw and cement, pathologically
redistribute the chewing load on the teeth, leading to their
premature abrasion and injury.
Periodontitis causes inflammation of the circulatory tissues and gradually
can lead to destruction of the aeolar process of the jaw. For
diseases characterized by the formation of gum pockets in which
accumulates plaque and pus, teeth loosening, exposure
dental necks. Process может носить острый или хронический характер.
In the outcome of the teeth diverge in the form of a fan or fall out.
