Gingirrhagia

Gingirrhagia is a medical term that refers to excessive bleeding from the gums. This condition is often caused by an infection or trauma to the gums, such as brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush. It can also be caused by periodontal disease, a bacterial infection of the gums. In some cases, gingirrhagia can be a sign of a more serious underlying medical condition, such as leukemia or vitamin K deficiency. Treatment of gingirrhagia typically involves antibiotics to treat the infection, as well as measures to stop the bleeding, such as applying a cold compress or using a medicated mouthwash.
