Gingivitis is just an inflammation of the gums. If you brush 3 times daily and floss your teeth this will help and become managable and not lead into periodontal disease or periodontitis Listerine rinses also help with the gum tissue and help kill the bacteria

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that are present in plaque. If you fail to take proper care of your teeth and gums, you may develop this leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Not only does this present a problem for your looks and in your ability to chew your food, but, it can be contagious!

No, it is not.
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums, and it is caused by plaque (formed by bacteria), which can be removed by daily brushing and flossing.
It is easy to treat, but if left untreated, it can become periodontitis.
