Gum disease begins with bacterial growth in your mouth and it causes destruction of the tissue that surrounds your teeth if not treated properly.
The main cause of gum disease is plaque, which causes the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed during tooth brushing.
Other causes are:
- Bad habits such as smoking.
- Poor oral hygiene habits, such as not brushing and flossing regularly.
- Also the family history of dental disease can be a contributing factor for the development of gum disease.
