Gum Disease

Periodontal disease is thought to be only found in adults; however, it is a common problem that can occur in both children and adults alike. Conditions such as chronic gingivitis are becoming increasingly common in children, and can lead to serious issues with a child’s oral hygiene. Chronic gingivitis can lead to the gum tissue swelling, turning red, and bleeding, which is something no parent wants for their child. Fortunately, at Advanced Dental Bronx – Children's Dental our specialists are able to take measures to help prevent such issues from occurring to your child, such as providing professional cleanings and offering easy, at home tips. Bringing your child in for a professional cleaning will reduce the risk of having your child catch any unwanted conditions, as well as maintaining a regular routine of brushing and flossing at home.

Certain conditions can make children more at risk of developing a periodontal disease, and it is important to take measures to protect your child. Such conditions include type 1 diabetes, down syndrome, or papillon-LeFevre syndrome. Bringing your child in to Advanced Dental Bronx – Children's Dental will allow our specialists to prevent any issues before they occur.
