Can a two year old get gingivitis

Question

Can a two year old get gingivitis

Answer 1

No, the tissue may appear swollen and red; this is due to the formation and eruption of their teeth.  You may want to check this site or some other sites out that carry eruption charts of deciduous teeth.

Answer 2

No. Two year olds are invincible.

Answer 3

Gingivitis is caused by gums that are too dirty too long.   Most 2 year olds have a lot of saliva that keeps the teeth and gums clean,  but if there is the presence of any teeth,  they do have to be kept clean either by a very soft toothbrush or a wet washcloth.   As soon as you have teeth,  you need to clean them or they can decay.  

Same goes for gums,   if they are not kept clean,  they can get crabby and puffy.    If you are a bit more diligent with cleaning your 2 yr. old's teeth and gums,   any small infections should go away.

Answer 4

A  TWO YEAR OLD  DOES NOT HAVE GINGIVITIS IN THE SAME MANNER THAT AN ADULT GETS IT.

IF THOSE TEETH NEVER SEE A TOOTHBRUSH THEN INFLAMMATION AND SWELLING WILL RESULT.

Answer 5

...flossing of babies is a 'recommended' act of 'parents' ( not villagers)

...repsonsible parents do not let their children sleep with juice bottles in their mouths

...why?

..oh, that is because the tooth enamle of 'baby teeth' is very soft and dissolves if the child is in constant contact with juices

....so each night, before the child goes to sleep, brush their teeth, and floss their teeth

...that is part of the habit the child grows to learn

....otherwise the alternative is, in fact, gengivitis

...why? were you just checking me to see if i knew this or what?

Answer 6
