Main causes of gum disease
Gum disease is usually caused by the formation of plaque on the surface of the teeth and at the border between the teeth and gums. Every day bacteria accumulate, but they can be removed by brushing and flossing daily, removing the plaque that is essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Brushing your teeth incorrectly or not brushing your teeth causes the layer of bacteria to not be removed, which can lead to gum disease.
