Gingivitis is primarily caused by the accumulation of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. The main types of bacteria involved include Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces, and various species of Porphyromonas and Tannerella. These bacteria lead to inflammation of the gums when their toxins irritate the surrounding tissue, resulting in swelling, redness, and bleeding. Maintaining good oral hygiene helps control these bacteria and prevent gingivitis.
