Question

Well for the longest time now my gums have been really, really sore. They bleed all the time and I have holes in between my teeth. Is there any one who can let me know what it is and how I can treat it? Someone told me that it was gingivitis or something like that.

Positive Negative

Periodontal disease runs the gamut from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis with bone loss. Most people are not equipped to make a precise diagnosis by themselves. Certainly I cannot determine the full nature of what you have from your description. Without a diagnosis, an appropriate treatment cannot be prescribed.
