Frequent inflammation of the gums is mostly caused by local plaque and tartar, in addition to other local triggering factors and systemic triggering factors can also induce inflammation of the gums.
1. Plaque and tartar: plaque is the direct cause of gingivitis when it accumulates on the tooth surface near the gum margin, and plaque can not be washed away by water or rinsed off, and will be mineralized into tartar. Plaque and tartar on the surface of the teeth stay longer, the greater the stimulation of the gums, which will lead to inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue.
2. Local triggering factors: such as misalignment and crowding of teeth, improper brushing methods, food impaction, bad restorations, mouth breathing and other local factors can trigger inflammation of the gums.
3. Systemic triggering factors: such as smoking, high blood sugar, nutritional factors, blood diseases, drugs, hormones, etc., can trigger inflammation of the gums.
