Children’s Dental Structure
We should consider the impact of plaque, tartar and decay on the soft tissues of the mouth. While baby teeth may fall out, gingivitis or gum disease don’t stop when the tooth drops. Poor hygiene in both children and adults can lead to swelling of the gums, bleeding from the gums and in some cases can progress to periodontal disease.
Periodontal Disease
Consistent cleaning of children’s teeth is also important because primary teeth are more susceptible to decay than adult teeth. The reason for this is that children’s teeth have a thinner covering of enamel over their teeth than adults. Enamel is responsible for protecting the teeth against the effects of acidity in the mouth. When teeth are exposed to acids over a long period of time, the acid depletes the efficacy of enamel and cavities can form. For this reason, your dentist will likely recommend that your child be seen for checkups every 6 months or sooner if they are monitoring the onset of dental concerns in your child’s mouth.
