Dental Disease And Young Gums

If your child complains that his or her young gums are sore, tender, or bleed after brushing or flossing, these might be warning signs of gingivitis, an early stage of periodontal disease. The word "periodontal" comes from the Greek meaning "around the tooth." Healthy gum tissue and bone support each tooth. Young gum disease threatens the support system that healthy teeth need. If not treated, it can lead to serious problems including tooth loss.

If you child is experiencing any of these symptoms, call Kids First Dentistry as soon as possible for an exam and consultation.
