Poor oral hygiene. But more specifically, plaque is the primary cause of periodontal disease. Plaque is a buildup of harmful bacteria and acids. When this plaque isn't removed due to poor oral hygiene and/or avoiding professional dental cleanings, it hardens and turns into calculus. This causes gingivitis, an irritation and inflammation of your child's gums. If left untreated, gingivitis turns into periodontitis, causing pockets between their teeth and gums that fill with bacteria. Contact us if your children are due for a cleaning: https://www.childrensdentistnc.com/services/preventative-dentistry/oral-hygiene/.

Missing one tooth, let alone more, can cause a host of problems. This includes difficulty chewing, speech impairment, bite changes, jaw pain, adjacent teeth shifting to the gap followed by other teeth moving out of place, premature aging, sunken facial appearance, lowered confidence, and more. Luckily, there are multiple options for replacing missing teeth. Contact us for a consultation: https://www.childrensdentistnc.com/services/crowns-and-bridges/.

It depends on their oral health. On average, most patients need to visit us once every six months for a comprehensive exam and cleaning. If your child suffers from gum disease, is prone to tooth decay, or needs additional treatments, they'll need to visit us more often. To find out for certain, contact us for an appointment: https://www.childrensdentistnc.com/services/preventative-dentistry/.

Dental x-rays are very safe. Our office utilizes digital x-rays, reducing your child's radiation exposure even more, and we only perform x-rays as needed. Have more questions? Contact us: https://www.childrensdentistnc.com/contact/.

A cavity is a small hole in your tooth. It occurs when the enamel (the protective outer layer of your tooth) starts to erode. This erosion is usually caused by plaque, which is a buildup of harmful bacteria and acids. Luckily, cavities are easily treatable if caught early. Contact us to book an exam.
