if you have any questions about our periodontic care for children and teens, we’ve got answers.
Gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease, is quite common in children and teens. More severe forms of gum disease are less common but can occur.
The primary cause of gum disease is poor oral hygiene, which allows plaque to build up on the teeth and gums. Other factors, such as hormonal changes during puberty, certain medications, and systemic conditions, can also contribute to gum problems.
We use gentle techniques and appropriate anesthesia when needed. Most preventive procedures are completely comfortable, and we always prioritize your child’s comfort.
While gum disease is less common in children, they may require periodontal treatment for issues like:
- Frenum correction: Addressing a tight frenulum that restricts lip or tongue movement.
- Gum recontouring: Reshaping the gum line for symmetry and aesthetics.
- Gum grafting: Treating gum recession and protecting exposed tooth roots.
- Excess gum tissue removal: Improving oral hygiene and smile aesthetics.
- Dental implants: Replacing missing permanent teeth in teens with fully developed jaws.
Our periodontist provides gentle and thorough care for children and teens. You’re welcome to be present during the exam, and we’ll explain all procedures and answer your questions.
Early intervention can prevent further complications, protect oral health, and improve the appearance of your child’s smile.
