Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums characterized by red, swollen and bleeding gums. It is a reversible condition associated with the build up and accumulation of plaque due to improper oral hygiene. Plaque is an irritant to the gums and causes inflammation. Other factors involved in gingivitis are poorly fitting appliances, malaligned teeth, mouthbreathing and overhanging margins of dental restorations.
