Childhood Gum Disease

We are dedicated to safeguarding your child's oral health at every stage of their development. While cavities are commonly associated with childhood dental issues, it's essential not to overlook the threat of gum disease, particularly gingivitis, which can affect even the youngest patients.

Gingivitis, the initial stage of periodontal disease, is prevalent among children. If left unaddressed, it may progress to more advanced forms of periodontal disease, leading to potential complications and discomfort for your child.

Fortunately, gingivitis is both preventable and treatable through regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental care. At Village Kids Dentistry, we emphasize proactive measures to protect your child from the discomfort and embarrassment associated with this condition.

If you believe that your child is at risk for gingivitis, localized aggressive periodontitis, or generalized aggressive periodontitis, please give our office a call. Our pediatric dentists are here to help.
