Swollen Gums and Tooth Infection Natural Remedies

Cause of Swollen Gums and Tooth Infection

Gum disease is caused by hordes of invading bacteria and is usually the result of poor oral hygiene, general poor health or a sugar-coated diet (candy, soft-drinks, pastries, refined carbohydrate and sugar in all forms). Pregnant women sometimes get mild gum inflammation that disappears soon after they give birth and people with AIDS, acute leukemia or uncontrolled diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease.


Even normally painless inflamed gums can flare into abscesses and pockets of infection, involving tooth roots and even the bone of the jaw, if it’s not treated promptly. The main cause of toothache is tooth decay which results from faulty diet.
