Hi.The fact that your gums bleed very often indicates possible inflammation of your gums.I would advise you to visit your dentist to assess you and if the diagnosis is periodontitis (especially severe forms of the disease) you may need to be referred for a detailed assessment from a periodontist.If your mother has been diagnosed with periodontitis, there is a higher possibility that you may be genetically predisposed to the periodontal disease.Also if you have any health problems like uncontrolled diabetes you belong to a higher risk group in relation to development and progression of periodontitis.
