    What could've caused this?

    Bad hygiene is not the main cause here.

    Correct answer:

    Scurvy.

    As a result of the vitamin C deficiency, peridontal disease occurs, usually starting with gum bleeding and in later stages loosening of the teeth. Other symptoms include poor wound heeling, petechiae and internal bleeding.
