牙齦紅腫和口臭可能由牙周病引起。
Swollen gums and bad breath may be caused by severe gum diseases.
牙齒表面的牙菌膜和牙石是常見的牙周病原因。初時牙菌膜和牙石積聚會造成牙齦炎。如果得不到適當的治療，可能惡化成牙周病。
Dental plaque and calculus are the main causes of gum disease. The accumulation of dental plaque and calculus cause gingivitis (mild gum disease). If no appropriate treatment is provided, gingivitis will further develop to severe gum disease (periodontitis).
嚴重牙周病還有機會導致牙齦萎縮、牙縫增闊、牙齒鬆動，甚至牙齒脫落。
In severe cases, periodontitis can lead to gum recession, widening of space between teeth, mobile teeth, or even loss of teeth.

1. 洗牙 Scaling
