Periodontal disease, it starts out as gingivitis and advances in stages where it destroys the tissue first, then the bone and ligaments that hold the teeth in place.
The gingivitis stage is where the tissue is inflamed at first, then bleeding starts next, then recession of the gums follows, showing the teeth more exposed or uncovered as the tissue is slowly degenerating, then last there is the mobility. As the surrounding bone is destroyed the teeth become more painful. They are no longer functional for sufficient chewing due to movement from the lack of bone holding them in the socket.
This is usually when patients start having all kinds of medical problems as well as dental. Their digestive system suffers due to not being able to chew food naturally. Then there is the research pointing to the infection causing heart disease along with the build up of plaque in the veins and arteries. Research, along with our parents and grandparents experience has giving us more and more reasons to take care of our teeth with brushing and flossing. It's better than the alternative! I've never had a denture wearing patient who "loved having dentures", but I've sure had my fair share of them admit their regret of not taking better care of their teeth.

The disease is Periodontitis, historically called pyorrhea, and also called gum disease. It is a disease of chronic inflammation caused primarily by bacteria that live below the gumline. Contributing factors include smoking, heredity, diabetes and age.
Periodontal disease can be successfully treated in most cases. Your dentist uses x-ray films and probing to determine whether or not you have gum disease.

It could be a periodontitis. The inflammation of dental gum which is caused by bacteria or by disease of tooth pulp. It also can be a Papillon-Lefevre syndrom. This is genetic disorder which has dry scaly patches on the skin of the palms and the soles (also called palmar-plantar hyperkeratosis) in association with inflammation and degeneration of the structures surrounding and supporting the teeth (periodontium).You loose Your primary(decidous) teeth by age of five. If it is not threated well You can loose Your secondary(permanent) teeth by age of 17. After loosing the teeth the inflammation of gums stops, and everything is OK with gums, except You lost Your teeth.

Punch (as in 'a' punch) - ho hum...but seriously it's indeed peridontitis...down to gum disease. Sore and bloody gums along with bad breath is a sign.
Never heard of pyorrhoea - but that also looks like doing what it says on the tin...same area of your mouth as well. You have a choice of two ills beginning with a 'p'.
Next stop...dentist!

peridontitis
I think its inflammation and thining of the gum line. The gums thin...exposing more of the enamel to plaque acid whhich leaves more opporrtunity for infection and inflamation.
