Periodontitis: Is the modern term. Red bluish gum color, bad breath, puffy gums that bleed easily, have your teeth gotten longer (loss of support structures). Please see your dentist.

Loose Teeth: In advanced stage. You can also see bleeding, abscess, and pus... It can cause bad taste in the mouth. The dead and sick tissue emits a malodor. It is very important to see the dentist regularly to avoid this kind of oral condition.

Bleeding: If your gums bleed when brushing or flossing, that is the distinguishing factor for gingivitis. It may also be a sign that you have a more serious problem, that of periodontal or gum disease; and only your dentist can test for that by taking simple measurements around each tooth and appropriate x-rays.
