Gingivitis and signs of gum disease
Gum inflammation can be due to various factors, and lead to more than physical discomfort and disease. The most common cause of gum inflammation is the accumulation of dental tartar, which can cause bacteria to grow, leading to the inflammation you might be experiencing.
Periodontal disease, smoking, hormonal changes and consumption of certain medications can also lead to gum inflammation.
