  bleeding and inflate. They might even bleed
  during brushing. The teeth are still intact in
  sockets at this stage. It is the first sign that
  your gums need to be checked by a dentist at the

  decay starts forming pockets and lead to Gum
  Diseases. The pockets start storing bacteria and
  form plaque. While the immune system of the body
  fights against this, the toxins formed by the
  bacteria start to break the tissues surrounding
  the teeth and damage the bone. At this stage,
