Gingivitis

What is Gingivitis ?
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums surrounding the teeth. Gingivitis is one of many periodontal diseases that affect the health of the periodontium (those tissues that surround the teeth and include the gums, soft tissues, and bone).

Causes of Gingivitis
Gingivitis is considered to be a bacterial infection of the gums

For gingivitis to develop, plaque must accumulate in the areas between the teeth
It is usually necessary for the person to have an underlying illness or take a particular medication that renders their immune system susceptible to gingivitis. For example, people with leukemia and Wegner disease.
Sometimes hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy, puberty, and steroid therapy leave the gums vulnerable to bacterial infection.
A number of medications used for seizures, high blood pressure, and organ transplants can suppress the immune system and change the structure of the gums enough to permit bacterial infection.

Symptoms of Gingivitis

Swelling, redness, pain, and bleeding of the gums are signs of gingivitis.
The breath begins to take on a foul odor.
The gums begin to lose their normal structure and color. The gums, which were once strong and pink, begin to recede and take on a beefy red, inflamed color.
