Gingivitis

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is an inflammatory disease of the gums, the early stage of periodontal disease. It is an inflammation of the gum tissue around the teeth, caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the tooth surface and below the gum line. Gingivitis is one of the most common oral diseases, with a prevalence ranging from 50% to 99% in both children and adults.

What is periodontitis? What you need to know

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth. These structures include the gums, alveolar bone (the part of the jaw where the tooth roots are located), periodontal ligament (the connective tissue that holds the teeth in place), and cementum (the surface layer of the tooth roots). The term “periodontics” comes from the Greek words “peri,” meaning around, and “odont,” meaning tooth.
