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).

Gingivitis is an infection that occurs when bacteria invade soft tissues, bone, and other places that bacteria should not be.
