Causes of red gums in dogs:

1. Oral hygiene

After dogs eat, food will remain in the teeth and become bacteria. A breeding ground for teeth and mouth. After a large number of bacteria grow, soft plaque will form on the surface of the teeth or inside the mouth. It first exists in the form of dental plaque in the mouth, and then forms stones over time. The occurrence of dental calculus can induce gingivitis.

2. Malformed teeth

If the canine teeth are deformed, the incidence of gingivitis will be greatly increased, so owners of such dogs should pay more attention to the oral hygiene of their dogs.

3. Other factors

Endocrine diseases, lack of vitamin C, malnutrition and other systemic diseases can also cause gingivitis in pet dogs. Endocrine disorders predominate. The main symptom is gingivitis, which is redness, swelling, pain, and bleeding along the gum line. During the inflammation process, the supporting tissue between the gums and teeth will slowly be destroyed, and abscesses will form on the gum surface. If the invasion continues, it will develop into periodontitis.

4. Bleeding gums

Bleeding gums are usually the main symptom of dogs suffering from gingivitis. It usually occurs when biting something hard, but it can also occur spontaneously as a result of gum bleeding. The normal color of gums is pink, but when suffering from gingivitis, the wandering gums and gum papillae appear deep red or dark red, which is caused by congestion and proliferation of blood vessels in the gum connective tissue.
