The leading cause of this disease is a plaque left on your teeth and gums that cause infection. This is due to bad hygiene habits. Failure to consistently brush your teeth and keep your mouth clear of plaque can lead to gums infection and gum disease. Brushing twice a day and flossing regularly is an excellent ways to keep your mouth free of plaque and your gums free of disease.
