Hello and welcome.pyorrhea.commonly known as gum disease is a bacterial infection. Slowly and steadily, it weakens the teeth by dissolving the gum. It breaks down the healthy gum tissues and accumulates the pus around the teeth. In turn teeth becomes loose and gets mobile, and then falls of over a period of time, if not treated. Accompanies bad odor from mouth too. Any patient having even slightest bleeding from gum should and must report to his/her dentist for at least a dental check up. After that as per diagnosed treatment is administered.Therefore, please ask your friend to see his dentist soon for further help. Thanks. Take care.
