At Dental Studio 4 Kids, we know that unfortunately, gum disease can exist in your child’s mouth without you even knowing. In fact, your child may be suffering from the beginning stages of periodontal (gum) disease without noticing any pain or discomfort. Since gum disease can be undetectable, it’s critical to watch for the warning signs in order to prevent the disease from growing worse!
If your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may want to consider scheduling an appointment with Dr. Denisse Lasanta as soon as possible:
Gums that are red or swollen
Gums that feel tender
Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing
Gums that are receding
Persistent halitosis (bad breath)
Loose teeth
Any change in the way teeth come together in the biting position
If your child is experiencing these symptoms, schedule an appointment right away by calling our Lutz office. Dr. Denisse Lasanta and our team can diagnose the problem and begin treatment to save your child’s teeth!
Our team at Dental Studio 4 Kids looks forward to seeing you!
