What is the medical term meaning bleeding from the mouth?

The actual blood is coming from the gums, not the teeth themselves. The medical term for bleeding of the gums is called "gingivitis". The "gingiva" is the medical term for the gums of the mouth, and the "itis" part means swelling and/or infection. The swelling and infection of the gums can also lead to "periodontitis", which is a disease of the ligaments and bones that support the teeth and gums. Peridontitis usually is the result of untreated gingivitis. Peridontitis, if left unchecked and treated can lead to eventual loss of teeth, as well as possibility of "abscess" of the teeth or gums. Both of these disorders are most common in adults who have not had proper dental care in their childhood, and have not had regular cleanings and dental care as well as good dental hygiene habits in their adult years either. Plaque and tartar build up at the base of the teeth. Inflammation from this build-up causes a pocket to form between the gums and the teeth, which fills with plaque and tartar. Soft tissue swelling traps the plaque in the pocket. Continued inflammation can cause the teeth to fall out, and lead to the possibility of a tooth abscess. There are other reasons for these disorders, such as poor nutrition and chronic illness. In essence, the "teeth" don't have a blood supply, so they cannot bleed. The gums that support the teeth will bleed, and that medical term is called "gingivitis".
