Dental 4 Less – Other Causes of Gingivitis 

The most common cause of Gingivitis is the accumulation of bacterial plaque between and around the teeth. Other causes and risk factors are listed below: 

Hormones Changes: This may occur during puberty, menopause, the menstrual cycle, and pregnancy. The gingiva might become more sensitive, raising the risk of inflammation. 

Some Diseases: Diseases like Cancer, Diabetes, and HIV are linked to a higher risk of Gingivitis. 

Drugs: Some medications may affect oral health, especially if saliva flow is reduced. Dilantin, an anticonvulsant, and some anti-angina medications can cause abnormal growth of gum tissue. 

Smoking: Regular smokers more commonly develop Gingivitis compared with non-smokers. Age: The risk of Gingivitis increases with age. Family

History: Those whose parents have had Gingivitis have a higher risk of developing it. It is thought to be due to the type of bacteria we acquire during our early life. If you have some of these risk factors, talk them over with your dentist to maintain good dental health care.
