GINGIVITIS
LifeSource Vitamins
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums (gingivae), usually caused by
bacteria. Periodontitis is a deeper and more serious inflammation of both
the gingivae and tissue that surrounds and supports the teeth. Both common
conditions are often progressive and can eventually result in loss of the
underlying bone that supports the teeth. After age 30, periodontal disease
is responsible for more tooth loss than are dental cavities. Severe
periodontitis sometimes requires surgery to repair damaged gum tissue. In
advanced stages of gingivitis, the gums recede, exposing the nerve roots,
and the teeth may become loose. This may be an indication of periodontitis.
