Receding Gums

Janie from Portland has a problem.  She is 17 and her gums hurt around her lower front teeth.

When she came in, her gums were very sore and swollen around her lower right incisor and the gums (or gingiva for those dentally inclined) were receded down the tooth root about 3 mm below the other teeth.  I noticed that the small muscle attaching her lip to her jaw was pulling on the gums right next to the recession area.

Many of the young children I see are coming to the dentist for the first time.  They have no experience of dentistry yet they are often fearful.  Why?

I believe that children pick up both verbal and non-verbal messages from parents, siblings, friends, and even TV shows that make fun of how scary a dental visit is or how badly a root canal hurts.

Dental Health Lessons For Young Children

Good dental hygiene is important, and habits should start when a person is very young. This is where dental hygiene lessons for preschoolers come in. When a child learns these important behaviors very early on, they become routine throughout their lives.

It may be challenging to teach dental care to preschoolers. They care more about what their toothbrush looks like and what the tooth paste tastes like than anything else. But, it is possible with a little help from you to get them to focus.
