It mainly includes acute and chronic types. Acute gingivitis can occur when the gums are stimulated by hard foods, causing significant pain in patients. Chronic gingivitis primarily results from patients' long-term neglect of oral hygiene, leading to food residue remaining in the mouth and not being removed promptly, which causes gum inflammation and eventually chronic gingivitis. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention to avoid delaying treatment.
