I think he should start by seeing a dentist. Untreated tooth problems can cause serious illness, even death.

That sounds like Gingivitis - he needs to see an oral surgeon or a dentist to figure out what the problem is.

Bad, foul, mouth odor? Could be MANY things - poor oral hygiene, sickness - anything - but the bottom line is that he needs to see a dentist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

In the mean time - he should try Listerine mouth wash - to help with the odor. the bleeding gums are a definite sign of Gingitivis in my opinion!

could be alot of things...in most recent things for me has been when I have had a tooth infection and needed a root canal...tell him to be religous about rinsing with Listerine at LEAST 2 times per day...keep that stuff in your mounth and squish around for at least 1 min
MUST be listerine (not any generic kind)

It's probably gum disease or most likely gingivitus. He needs to see a dentist.

Could be a list of things starting with poor oral hygeine and working over to a very serious matter. He needs to see a dentist ASAP.

Could be gum disease, or peridontal disease which is advanced gum disease involving the bone around teeth. Could be an infection. Very rarely bleeding gums can be a sign of leukemia or another systemic disease/ infection in the body. would definitely get a check up with dentist/ hygienist and then a follow up physical with blood work to be safe and sound.
