Gingivitis - Stages of Gingival Inflammation

Gingivitis or Gum disease is an infection caused by the harmful bacteria that live in our mouth. The human mouth is full of numerous types of bacteria. These include beneficial and harmful bacteria. With improper oral hygiene maintenance, the harmful bacteria combine with sugars and salivary proteins to form a coating on the teeth and the edges of the gums.
The coating is known as plaque and, if this plaque is left to accumulate, bacteria will use it to stage attacks on the gums. The resulting infection is known as gum disease or gingivitis.
