One of the major gum infection causes is poor dental hygiene.
If you get food stuck between your teeth and where your gums meet your teeth and that food stays there, you can infect your gums.
Likewise, if you fail to clean away the soft plaque that forms around your teeth and you don’t get your dentist to scrape away the hardened plaque (tartar), you are likely to encounter mild to very serious gum infection.
You could even lose some teeth.
Cleaning your teeth correctly and often with the right products is vital to preventing gum disease.
