Causes of bad gum condition can be primarily caused by bacterial plaque, although there are many factors that might contribute to it. Factors can also include the change in hormones during the puberty period of an individual, menstruation, pregnancy period and menopause. These conditions can make gums become more sensitive and disease gum can develop easily. Some illness can affect the condition of the gums. The immune system can be affected by Diabetes, cancer or HIV and can promote disease gum infections to develop. Like having bad habits such as smoking and the use of tobacco products, these can also cause gum disease and gum tissue can hardly repair itself. Gum disease development can be easy if the individual lacks oral hygiene such as not flossing and brushing.
