Stop Gum Disease Early for a Healthier, Stronger Smile

Gum health is just as important as cavity prevention. When bacteria and plaque accumulate around the gums, they can cause swelling, redness, and bleeding—even in young children. If not addressed, gum disease may lead to discomfort, persistent bad breath, and harm to both primary and adult teeth. While baby teeth are temporary, they are essential for clear speech, proper chewing, and ensuring permanent teeth grow in correctly. That’s why treating gum disease early is essential for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

At Kids Smile, P.C., we offer gentle, non-surgical treatments to fight gum infections and restore oral health, including:

  • Scaling and Root Planing – This deep cleaning process removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping gums heal and reattach to teeth.
  • Laser-Assisted Scaling and Root Planing – This minimally invasive option uses laser technology for greater precision, reducing discomfort and speeding up healing.
  • Topical Antibiotics – Antibiotics can be applied directly to the gums to target bacteria and stop infection from spreading.
  • Antibacterial Irrigation – Your child’s dentist may suggest a gentle rinse to flush out harmful bacteria, keeping gums clean and reducing inflammation.

We use advanced dental technology to provide the most precise and comfortable care. Digital X-rays, laser treatment, and intraoral cameras help your child’s dentist diagnose and treat gum concerns early, preventing more serious problems down the road. Our kid-friendly approach ensures that even nervous children feel at ease with gentle techniques and a welcoming environment.
