Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums (gingiva), typically caused by a buildup of plaque on the teeth. It is the earliest stage of gum disease and is usually characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, particularly when brushing or flossing.
Key characteristics of gingivitis include:

Red, swollen gums: The gums become inflamed and may appear redder than usual.
Bleeding: Gums may bleed, especially when brushing or flossing.
Bad breath: A persistent foul smell from the mouth (halitosis) can occur due to bacterial growth in the plaque.
Tenderness: The gums may feel sore or sensitive to touch.

Gingivitis is usually reversible with good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a more severe form of gum disease called periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss and other serious health complications.
