# Gingivitis

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums around the teeth. Gingivitis may be caused by a build up of plaque and tartar because the teeth have not been cleaned properly, or because the gums have been injured because of excessive brushing or flossing. The condition can usually be reversed, but can also be prevented by not brushing teeth or flossing too hard.
