Typical bacterial gingivitis is a painless condition, even in case of bleeding gums. They become bright red and swell. They are less firm than usual and sometimes mobile. They are likely to bleed during brushing teeth and possibly during the meal. Sometimes they bleed at night.
 
 Where gingivostomatitis herpetic stomatitis, gums are also bright red. The disease is also easily recognizable because it is usually very painful. Dozens of tiny white or yellow sores are visible on the gums and inside the cheeks.
 
 This lime scale at the base of the gums may represent the tip of the iceberg. It generally spreads between the teeth and gums, force their separation and settled in this newly formed cavity. The bacteria nestled into the crevice release of chemical agents that attack bone that hold the roots of teeth. Those same chemicals can cause bad breath. The teeth were then kept firmly in position, fall or be extracted. This complication of gingivitis is called periodontitis. Surprisingly, it is often painless.
 
 The mouth of the trenches, also called Angina Vincent is a particularly severe form of gingivitis caused by a combination of two bacteria.

The gums are gray and often distorted. The papillae (pointed to the gums between the teeth) and include flatten an area of dead tissue. The disease takes its name from the First World War, when it was often present among soldiers in the trenches. It is usually found in smokers.
