How to treat gingivitis in children?

The occurrence of gingivitis is closely related to our living habits. In addition to adults and young people who suffer from gingivitis due to eating too much fried food, children can also suffer from gingivitis. Since children are just starting to grow teeth, and some parents do not make sure their children brush their teeth every day, the bacteria accumulated near the teeth will form dental plaque, which can cause painful and swollen gums. So what is the best way to treat gingivitis in children? Here I will introduce you to some good methods!

1. To prevent simple gingivitis in children, you only need to have good oral hygiene habits, that is, brush your teeth every day. Some people with heavy tartar buildup can use a toothpaste containing pyrophosphate to control tartar buildup. Once tartar forms, only specialized cleaners (oral preventatives) can remove it. People with poor oral hygiene, who are prone to gingivitis or plaque, need regular special teeth cleaning (teeth cleaning). Depending on how quickly tartar forms, people need to have their teeth cleaned every 3 months or a year.

Because the gums have an abundant blood supply, they will quickly return to health after careful brushing to remove tartar and plaque. Hygiene conditions that may cause or worsen gingivitis should be addressed and controlled. If a person must take medications that cause gum overgrowth, the overgrowth may be surgically removed. However, with careful oral hygiene and regular flossing at home, it may be possible to slow the rate of excessive gum growth or avoid the need for surgical removal.

2. When vitamin C and niacin are deficient, they can be treated by supplementation and improved diet.

3. Pay attention to oral health and food absorption in daily life, develop good oral care habits, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, especially before going to bed, to remove dental plaque and reduce the accumulation of dental plaque while sleeping. Go to the dentist for regular cleaning every 6 months to 1 year to prevent dental plaque from turning into tartar and to remove tartar that has already formed on the teeth.

Many parents do not pay attention to their children's oral health. In addition, there are many only children in society today. Children eat whatever snacks they want and do not brush their teeth in time after eating snacks, which may lead to gingivitis. The above content is about the best tips on how to treat gingivitis in children. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
