Bleeding gums is among the common conditions affecting the oral cavity. The Chinese might have noticed bleeding gums as early as 2500 BC. They termed the associated diseases as "Ya-Kon" which means diseases of soft tissue surrounding the teeth. This problem still continues to affect us even with so many modern facilities available in the field of oral care.
Bleeding gums is an affliction that affects 75% of the population. If untreated it can complicate any existing disease such as Stroke, Diabetes and Heart disease.
