How to treat gingivitis in children?

Gingivitis is a disease that occurs in the mouth. It is not contagious. Children's fever, swollen and painful gums, protruding teeth, and bleeding gums during teething are all symptoms of gingivitis. Children's gingival epithelium is thin and easily infected by bacteria. When oral hygiene is too poor, it will cause gingivitis. Gingivitis in children often manifests as bleeding, swollen and painful gums. If it is severe, it can lead to periodontitis. So, how to treat gingivitis in children?

If you find that your child has gingivitis, you should take your baby to the doctor within 24 hours. Many babies are afraid of dentists. You should comfort them more and encourage them to cooperate with the doctor for examination and treatment. You should also teach your baby to brush his teeth in the correct way, and insist on brushing his teeth in the morning and evening, rinsing his mouth after meals, and eating a healthy diet. Let the child drink water with a straw to reduce irritation to the gums. Be careful not to let the child drink water that is too hot to avoid burns. If your baby's gums bleed severely or he or she complains of severe toothache all the time, you should take your baby to the doctor immediately.

Dietary conditioning: After suffering from gingivitis, the baby's diet should be light, eat more vegetables and fruits, pay attention to nutritional balance, eat more easily digestible foods rich in B vitamins, and avoid picky eating. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and try to eat less spicy and irritating foods.

The first step in prevention is to pay attention to strengthening your baby's physical exercise, improving physical fitness and increasing disease resistance. Secondly, teach your baby to develop good oral hygiene habits, remove tartar in time, and eliminate its adverse stimulation to the gums and periodontal tissues. Supplementing with enough vitamin C on a regular basis can prevent bleeding gums and infections. Often eat hard foods such as cucumbers, raw radishes, and fruits. These foods will not only increase the baby's nutrition, but also provide friction and exercise for the baby's teeth and gums, promoting periodontal blood circulation.
