Most of the damage occurs when plaques become fragile and rupture. Plaques that rupture cause the formation of blood clots that can block blood flow or break off and travel to another part of the body. In either of these cases, if a clot blocks a blood vessel that feeds the heart, it causes a heart attack. If it blocks a blood vessel that feeds the brain, it causes a stroke.
Hereâs what happens: âThere are two fronts to bleeding gums,â says Mark Weiser, DDS, a dentist practicing in Santa Barbara, Calif. âThe plaqueâwhich is a biofilm of bacteria and its waste productsâfirst create the irritation to the gum tissue. Then thereâs the body's reaction to that wounding, the inflammatory response.â Put those two factors together and youâve got inflamed, bleeding gums.
