How long does it take for gingivitis to take over your mouth?

Loss of teeth: Gingivitis does not take over your mouth, you just lose your teeth. You can take preventive measure, like regular brushing, flossing and seeing your dentist at least once a year.

Some time: Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums. It's the precursor for a more serious condition, periodontitis, which is the inflammation of the supporting structures of the tooth (gums, bone, periodontal attachment). This disease process is progressive in nature and may require the care of dentist depending on its stage. Visit your dentist for an evaluation.

Gingivitis: can usually develop in just a few days or over several weeks. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which is very serious and can eventually lead to loss of teeth and general health problems. Se your dentist for consultation..

Ongoing: Gingivitis is gum inflammation caused by bacterial activity. There is a constant ongoing balance between health and disease. Gingivitis (reversible) can progress to more serious infection, Periodontitis, which does irreversible damage. Start with a clean mouth (professional cleaning) and then follow your Dentist/Hygienist's recommendations to the letter.
