gingiva

Particular care should be taken to avoid injury to the gingiva.

Infection and inflammation of the gingiva is common with this condition.

They form spillways between teeth to direct food away from the gingiva.

Unhealthy gingiva, on the other hand, is often swollen and mushy.

Soft tissue laceration, most commonly the lips and the gingiva.

This inflammation can cause an enlargement of the gingiva and subsequent formation.

Gingiva are part of the soft tissue lining of the mouth.

They allow the food to be deflected allowing proper degree of massage to the gingiva.

Given time, plaque can mineralize along the gingiva, forming tartar.

If cancer is in the lower gingiva (gums), treatment may include the following:

The crown is usually visible in the mouth after developing below the gingiva and then erupting into place.

Healthy gingiva has an orange-peel like texture to it.

The use of the brush should be confined to the crown to avoid injury to the gingiva and cementum.

The connection between the gingiva and the tooth is called the dentogingival junction.

A dental emergency is a type of medical emergency involving the teeth or gingiva.

A gingival disease is a disorder primarily affecting the gingiva.

Tobacco use is a significant risk factor for periodontal disease, which can cause the gingiva to recede.

As the gingiva loses attachment to the teeth, the root surface becomes more visible in the mouth.

Due to its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva, the condition is often associated with two other diseases, though not because they occur together.

The most common oral locations are on the gingiva of the mandible, tongue, and palate.

Neonatal teeth are teeth that emerge through the gingiva during the first month of life.

Use of a scaler below the gum line is likely to damage the gingiva (gums).

Healthy gingiva are usually coral pink, but may contain physiologic pigmentation.

The word literally means "on the gingiva".

They may remain completely underneath the gingiva.
