Gum infections can develop quietly, but if left untreated, they can lead to pain, tooth loss, or more serious oral health concerns. Early treatment helps us prevent these problems from progressing and keeps your child’s smile healthy and comfortable.
Our team uses kid-friendly language and techniques to make each visit positive and stress-free. With gentle care and a preventative mindset, we help protect your child’s gums from long-term complications while promoting strong oral hygiene habits.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child has unique needs when it comes to comfort and care. That’s why we provide safe and effective sedation options tailored for kids, from mild relaxation with laughing gas to deeper calming methods for complex treatments. Our goal is to make every visit stress-free, comfortable, and positive for your child.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a safe and gentle way to help kids feel calm during dental treatments. It works quickly, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake while reducing anxiety and discomfort. This makes it one of the most common pediatric sedation options.
Oral conscious sedation is given in liquid or pill form to help children feel relaxed while staying awake and responsive. It’s ideal for kids with higher dental anxiety or those needing longer treatments. Our team carefully monitors your child to ensure safety and comfort throughout the visit.
IV sedation is recommended for children who require deeper relaxation during more complex procedures. It works quickly through a small IV line, helping your child stay calm and comfortable while our pediatric dentist completes treatment efficiently. Safety is our priority, and your child is monitored closely the entire time.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to care for children with a variety of special needs. Our experienced team creates a patient, understanding, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s abilities.

Gum infections can weaken the structures holding baby and adult teeth in place. Early treatment preserves those important foundations, helping your child’s teeth grow in correctly.
Gum infections that go untreated can lead to more serious dental issues, including cavities, abscesses, or even bone loss. Tackling problems early keeps treatment simple and affordable.
Healthy gums mean a happier smile. Children feel more confident and at ease when their mouths are comfortable, clean, and free from pain or bleeding.
We begin with a gentle exam and review of your child’s gum symptoms. This helps us pinpoint the severity and cause of the infection.
We clean the affected area thoroughly to remove plaque and bacteria. This may involve special tools and antibacterial rinses tailored for children.
After the treatment, we provide instructions for care at home—including brushing, flossing, and healthy diet tips to support gum healing.
Gum infections are most commonly caused by plaque buildup due to poor brushing and flossing habits. Other factors like mouth breathing or certain illnesses can also contribute.
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums—especially during brushing—are common early signs. Bad breath and gum sensitivity are also possible indicators.
No. We use gentle, child-friendly techniques and topical numbing when needed. Our goal is to keep your child relaxed and comfortable throughout the visit.
Mild cases may improve with better hygiene, but professional care is usually needed to fully remove infection and prevent it from returning.
Daily brushing, regular flossing, a healthy diet, and routine dental checkups are key to preventing gum infections and maintaining strong oral health.
