trench mouth
Trench mouth, also known as acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG), is a severe and rapidly progressive form of gingivitis characterized by painful, bleeding gums, ulcers in the gums, and bad breath. It's caused by the overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, usually due to poor oral hygiene, stress, smoking or a weakened immune system. Despite its name, it has no direct connection to trench warfare. It can lead to extensive tissue damage if not treated promptly.
