What Causes Unhealthy Gums
Plaque along the gumline
Plaque that sits where teeth meet gums irritates the tissue. Left alone it hardens into tartar, which only a dental cleaning removes.
An unbalanced oral microbiome
Your mouth holds hundreds of bacterial species. When the less helpful ones take over, gums are more likely to become red, tender or bleed.
Smoking and a high-sugar diet
Both feed the wrong bacteria and slow the gums' ability to recover after irritation.
A dry mouth
Saliva rinses away food and bacteria. Mouth breathing, some medications and not drinking enough water all reduce it.

5 Ways To Improve Gum Health
Brush twice a day, gently
Use a soft brush angled toward the gumline for two minutes. Scrubbing hard can wear gums back rather than clean them.
Clean between teeth daily
Floss or interdental brushes reach the spaces a toothbrush misses, where gum irritation usually starts.
Support a balanced mouth
Oral probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus reuteri and B.lactis BL-04® are studied for how they compete with bacteria linked to plaque.
See your dentist regularly
Professional cleanings remove tartar, and a dentist can spot gum problems early.
