Suggest Treatment For Severe Case Of Gum Disease Causing Bleeding

My husband has a severe case of gum disease. Some of his teeth have fallen out and what he has left are brownish in color. When he sleeps at night, his pillowcase is stained with blood. If he does not seek medical treatment soon will this affect his entire system?

Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

Chronically uncared teeth has lead your husbands teeth to be completely affected usually referred chronic periodontitis .If untreated it may lead to the falling of teeth.This will indeed effect the persons efficiency in eating leading to systemic issues.

I would advice you to take your husband to a dentist at the earliest and have them evaluated.Also have the check up done for diabetes and blood pressure increase.

Have the teeth cleaned ,which will reduce the bleeding.Missing teeth can be rehabilitated with the appropriate dentures.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
