    Y - E - S ... I think you can kiss your teeth good-bye.

    Your mouth is LADEN with bacteria. With bleeding gums, all this bacteria enters your blood stream causing ALL KINDS of medical problems.

    RUN don't walk to your dentist.

    1 Year???? See your doctor asap. Also, get an appointment with dentist asap. It sounds serious, don't wait around any longer, that just makes things worse.

    I think you have like a major case of gingivitis, but I dont think it has anything to do with your shortness of breath. But you definatly should go to the doctor soon to get that checked out.

    You most likely have Periodontal Disease. Too much plaque on your teeth, you have to see a dentist so they can do some deep cleaning. You have to use Plax mouthwash, brush your teeth, and especially FLOSS, and use Listerine. It can be because you don't brush and floss properly or genetics. I had periodontal disease, so I speak from experience.

    I think its Gingivitis but the way u explained it maybe there's more serious problems than having gingivitis. Go see a Dentist

    That is excessive and you need to see a dentist and a doctor ASAP. I think you may have more than one issue going on. Good luck!!!!

    It sounds like you could be anemic due to the blood loss. Anemia causes shortness of breath and fatigue. I would definitely see your doctor as soon as possible.

    This is not normal, even in common dental disease states. You need a medical evaluation.
