Gingiva or gums The gingiva is the only one of four periodontal tissues normally viewable. The other three tissues are the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and tooth root cementum. Collectively, these four tissues comprise the periodontium with the primary function of protecting teeth. Periodontal disease is first recognized from viewing the gingiva.  Young dog; normal healthy gingiva.  Rabbit; normal gingiva.  Cat; normal gingiva.  Same cat as above; gingival inflammation and periodontal disease associated with abnormal teeth.  Young cat; gingival inflammation (gingivitis).  2 yr dog, gingivitis after orthodontic therapy.  Young cat; gingival enlargement.  5 yr dog; gingival enlargement.
