Does pathogenic cause growing on gums?

Yes, pathogenic bacteria can cause growth on the gums, leading to conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis. These bacteria thrive in plaque, a sticky film that forms on teeth, and can trigger inflammation, redness, and swelling of the gums. If not addressed, this can result in gum disease and potentially tooth loss. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to prevent the overgrowth of these harmful bacteria.
