Smoking, chewing - and the cancer that will result,
Infection of the tooth or gum - perhaps an abcess
Cavity in the tooth
Some kinds of drug use
Food caught between the teeth or between the gum and tooth
Injury to the gum - like scratching it while eating a tortilla chip
If it increases from "slight" it might means your tooth is about to fall out
