What causes inflamed gums?

Painful and embarrassing in Daily use, gum inflammation affects a huge number of people. Gum inflammation is very common in adults, and generally worsens with age. Nevertheless, many young people and teenagers experience bleeding when brushing their teeth. At this age, this is usually due to somewhat inadequate oral hygiene. "Inflammation of the gums" is the term known to the general public, but it is actually what professionals call gum disease, periodontal disease or periodontal disease. In fact, it's the tissues supporting the teeth that are damaged. While dental plaque is the main cause, it is essential to pay attention to the early symptoms and other factors that can aggravate this inflammation. Inflammation of the gums is generally caused by bacteria that lodge in the tissues and infect them. This bacterial infection then becomes gingivitis and periodontitis. This inflammation is actually very easy to cause. In fact, it is caused by the accumulation of bacteria between the teeth, but also at their border with the gums. What's more, it's good to know that it's our food that accelerates this inflammation of the gums: bacteria that come into contact with food form the notorious dental plaque. It's essential to pay attention to the first signs, such as bleeding gums when brushing your teeth or gums that are sensitive to touch. In fact, if at first it simply remains gingivitis, it can very quickly spread to the ligament and bone that support the teeth. Plus, alcohol and tobacco exacerbate periodontal disease by suppressing any immune response to infection.
