THE CAUSE OF GINGIVITIS
Because plaque-induced gingivitis is by far the most common form of gingival diseases, the following sections will deal primarily with this condition.
The etiology, or cause, of plaque-induced gingivitis is bacterial plaque, which acts to initiate the body's host response. This, in turn, can lead to destruction of the gingival tissues, which may progress to destruction of the periodontal attachment apparatus.[6] The plaque accumulates in the small gaps between teeth, in the gingival grooves and in areas known as plaque traps: locations that serve to accumulate and maintain plaque. Examples of plaque traps include bulky and overhanging restorative margins, claps of removable partial dentures and calculus (tartar) that forms on teeth. Although these accumulations may be tiny, the bacteria in them produce chemicals, such as degrative enzymes, and toxins, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS, otherwise known asendotoxin) or lipoteichoic acid (LTA), that promote an inflammatory response in the gum tissue. This inflammation can cause an enlargement of the gingiva and subsequent formation.

Therefore , to prevent this disease to attack us , be sure that you had a clean teeth all the time. Brush your teeth twice a daily . Use mouthwash after brushing . Do flossing . Try to rinse your mouth whenever you have eaten foods ( exclude the brushing section ) for brunch , lunch or whatsoever . And oh ya . Brush your teeth in a circular motion or in vertical way . Don't brush your teeth in a horizontal way as it could hurt your gums and cause it bleeds -just like me . Protect them ! :)
That's all for today . Good night bloggie! Have a nice day !
