What Causes Gum Diseases? Underlying Factors

Since gum diseases are extremely uncomfortable, many people are seeking the underlying causes of them. Bacterial plaques are one of the most common causes of gum problems. In addition, the most important factors that cause gum diseases are as follows:

Smoking

Smoking is a habit that affects oral and dental health in general. In addition to all its damages, it is among the most important causes of gum diseases. Smoking not only causes dental diseases, but also leads to the occurrence of various gum diseases due to its chemical substance effect.

Puberty, Pregnancy and Menopause

Hormonal imbalances occur in the body during special periods of people. The hormone problems that occur cause the gums to be adversely affected and gum diseases to occur.

Systemic Diseases

Some important systemic diseases are also among the causes of gum disease. Especially diabetes and diseases that adversely affect the immune systems, diseases that adversely affect the body’s defence systems such as AIDS and leukaemia also adversely affect the health of the teeth.

Medicines

Medications used in the treatment of various diseases can cause various problems in the gums. Antidepressants, birth control pills, drugs that have suppressive effects on the immune system and similar things cause gum diseases.

Stress

Like for many other diseases, stress creates negative effects on the gums as well. Stress negatively affects the body, especially in fighting infections in the body.
