What is another word for gingivitis?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˌɪŋɡɪvˈa͡ɪtɪs] (IPA) 
Gingivitis is a common oral health condition that is characterized by inflammation of the gums. There are several synonyms for this condition, including gum disease, periodontitis, and periodontal disease. Other related terms include oral mucositis, gingival hyperplasia, and bleeding gums. Gingivitis is caused by poor oral hygiene and can be prevented or treated with proper brushing and flossing techniques. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more severe forms of gum disease, leading to damage to the teeth and even tooth loss. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can help detect and treat gingivitis early on, preventing more serious oral health problems from developing.
