Gingivitis always starts with plaque. This sticky film is mainly made up of bacteria. When starches and sugars in food react with bacteria in your mouth it forms Plaque on your teeth. If this plaque remains on the teeth for days it forms tartar. It is in this tartar that the bacteria hides and this can’t be removed by simply brushing, you would need to see the dentist for it. So this tartar hurts the gingiva and makes it swell and then bleed, leading to gingivitis.
Gingivitis can be prevented by having good oral hygiene. Brushing the teeth for at least two times daily for three to five minutes and flossing once a day. You should floss before you brush. Then make sure you visit a dentist at least every six to twelve months.

It is mostly a consequence of an infection in people's gums but is a reversible stage of gum disease. it is most usually caused by the build up of dental plaque around the base of somebody's teeth. The theory is that the toxins produced by the bacteria in the plaque irritate your gums and it is that irritation that causes your gums to become infected, tender and swollen. There is no real statistical evidence that it is hereditary. It can also result from injury to your gums through rough tooth-brushing or flossing or inadequate cleaning over a prolonged period. people with diabetes mellitus are particularly susceptible, as are pregnant women because of changes in their hormone levels.
There is a more severe form if the disease than yours called acute ulcerative gingivitis involves ulceration of your gums, and is also called "trench mouth" or "vincents disease".
This is a consequence of abnormal growth of microorganisms which usually exist harmlessly in small numbers in people's gum crevices. Factors causing this include poor oral hygiene and/or smoking, throat infections and inability to cope with stress.
