If the gingivitis is left untreated, it will lead to periodontitis, which is an advanced gum disease causing your teeth to loosen and even fall out! More research shows that there is usually a link connecting poor oral health to heart disease. Apparently, bleeding gums provide an entry port for viruses or bacteria that can lead to heart problems. Also, women who have gum or tooth problems are more likely to give premature birth to babies.
Bleeding gums also means that your Vitamin C is deficient. Be sure that you supplement with daily doses of this vitamin, and stick to a diet that includes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits everyday. If you munch on hard foods with loads of fiber, such as carrot or celery stick, you will help stimulate your gums.
