What are the 4 stages of gingivitis?

  1. Initial, Early, Established, Advanced

  2. Initial, Moderate, Severe, Terminal

  3. Normal, Mild, Moderate, Severe

  4. Early, Mid, Late, Final

The correct answer is: Initial, Early, Established, Advanced

Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease that can be categorized into four stages initial, early, established, and advanced. This categorization is based on the progression of symptoms and the severity of gum inflammation. Option B is incorrect because the levels of gingivitis are not classified as moderate, severe, and terminal. Option C is incorrect because gingivitis is not referred to as normal, mild, moderate, or severe. Option D is incorrect because the stages of gingivitis are not described in terms of early, mid, late, or final. It is important to understand the four stages of gingivitis in order to address and treat this common oral health issue.
