Nutrition In Gingivitis

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gingival lining of the gums. The disease is common, usually affecting pregnant women and teenagers. In these groups of people, the inflammation is severe, because they have hormonal changes in the body.

Gingivitis is the only dental disease in which it is possible for the inflammatory process to stop before serious dental problems appear.
If the necessary treatment is not carried out, periodontitis and periodontitis occur, which in turn lead to tooth loss.
