Oral hygiene: It is more likely to be due to periodontal disease and you should consult your dentist for proper oral care. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

Probably not: Most common cause is gum disease, an inflammatory/infective process requiring treatment. See a Dentist or specialist Periodontist for proper care. Gum disease is insidious, by the time it's symptomatic considerable damage has already been done.
