Having healthy gums and teeth are important to the over all health of both kids and adults. It makes sense then to be aware of how your child’s oral health is doing. Please take note of 3 signs you need to bring your child to the dentist.
Toothache
When we are in pain, it is a good idea not to ignore it because it is our body's way of saying something is wrong.Therefore, when a child complains of a toothache, it is very important to address it. It could be a number of things, including decay, and needs a professional to examine the area. The sooner a dentist can take a look, the sooner your son or daughter will have relief!
Irritated Gums
Gums that are red, swollen, or bleeding in a kids mouth deserve a second look. It can sometimes mean they have Gingivitis or other dental problems. Make it your priority to allow the dentist to take a look and access the issue.
Sensitivity to Temperature
Another sign of dental decay in a child can be pain or discomfort when they bite into something cold like ice cream or something hot like hot chocolate . The best first step is to make an appointment with the doctor to perform an exam.
