Gingivitis – Causes

Gingivitis is primarily the result of poor oral hygiene. However, it can also have other causes. An inadequate diet, lacking essential vitamins and minerals, can weaken the immunity of periodontal tissues. Certain medications, especially those used to treat kidney disease, can dry out the oral mucosa, promoting bacterial growth. Mechanical trauma, such as those caused by ill-fitting dentures, can also irritate the gums. In addition, people with at risk of gingivitis.

Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, as well as hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or menopause, are additional risk factors. Even improper toothbrushing technique can irritate the gums and contribute to the development of inflammation. If left untreated, it can progress to a more advanced form—periodontitis—which can lead to tooth loss.

Gingivitis – Treatment

Are you suffering from gingivitis? Treatment for this condition should begin with improving your oral hygiene.
