Dental problems usually begin in childhood. Not having created good hygiene habits, growing up with adults who do not take care of their teeth, or seeing tooth decay as something normal causes, in our children, the false certainty that dental problems are not something to worry about.
Of course, children’s dental problems do not necessarily end with cavities. Interestingly, good hygiene and habit formation from early childhood can prevent most of these problems.
In this article, find out the most common dental problems children suffer, as well as how to prevent them and treat them.
7 most common dental issues in children
There are many common dental issues in children. Here we tell you about the seven most common ones:
1. Dental cavities
The number one and most prevalent problem in children is tooth decay, also called cavities. Cavities are damaged areas in the teeth caused by the breakdown of the enamel and hard tissue of the tooth. Cavities happen when the mouth is exposed to acids produced by bacteria. These bacteria feed mainly on sugars and simple carbohydrates.
You can prevent cavities and the breakdown of children’s teeth. Three excellent ways to prevent tooth decay are the following:
- Improve dental hygiene: Creating habits of brushing teeth after main meals and supervising the correct brushing of teeth in your children improves their dental hygiene.
- Improve diet: Avoid giving kids too many sweets or highly processed foods. You can also help by adding foods with high nutritional value to their diet.
- Consult with your dentist regularly: Discovering cavities at an early stage is useful to avoid them becoming bigger.
Preventing cavities in children prevents them from having more serious problems. Some of the issues we avoid include pain, tooth loss, and painful visits to the dentist. Generally, going to the dentist for a cleaning or checkup is better than going to the dentist to cure large, painful cavities.
If your children have cavities, it is crucial to cure them to prevent them from growing and causing more damage.
2. Gum disease
Did you know not only adults could have gum disease? Gingivitis in children is quite common. It is characterized as a disease of the gums. In this disease, the plaque accumulates between the gum and the tooth, thus irritating the gum.
To discover if your child has gingivitis, you can observe if their gums have any of these signs:
- Constant pain in the gums (or sensitivity to temperatures when eating).
- Inflammation or swelling of the gums.
- Bleeding of the gums, especially when flossing or brushing teeth.
Gingivitis is the precursor to gum disease. In most cases, it is prevented by proper tooth and gum hygiene, including proper flossing. If this disease is not treated, children’s teeth may fall out, become weaker, or cause bone loss. You can prevent the disease through dietary changes and improved brushing techniques.
Gum disease is a treatable disease. As a parent, you can look for the help of a good dentist or periodontist.
3. Orthodontic problems
Orthodontic problems are a “growing trend” in children. Also called malocclusions, orthodontic problems can cause some aesthetic problems or even functional problems, such as:
- Overbite: Overbite means that the front teeth protrude more than the back teeth.
- Underbite: The lower teeth protrude from the upper teeth in an underbite. This could be caused by genetics or because of prolonged thumb-sucking.
- Open bite: When the mouth is closed, it is normal for all teeth to touch to facilitate chewing. In an open bite, teeth don’t touch.
- Spacing problems: Sometimes, there is too little or too much space between the teeth, causing problems with chewing or with the aesthetics and self-esteem of children.
- Crowding: Crowding happens when there is no space for the teeth, causing them to grow too close together and become crooked.
It is crucial to detect these problems early in order to correct them. Your orthodontist will determine if you need braces, expanders, headgear, or even jaw surgery—in severe cases. Unfortunately, orthodontics is not only an aesthetic problem but can also cause other problems in the long run, such as cracked teeth, difficulty brushing teeth, or jaw problems.
We recommend that you and your kid visit an orthodontist around the age of seven or eight when many permanent teeth have erupted.
4. Traumas
Another common problem in children is dental trauma. Dental trauma refers to injuries that affect the teeth, gums, jawbone, or mouth. Injuries can lead to chipped or knocked-out teeth. A variety of reasons can cause them:
- Accidents
- Falls
- Sport injuries
- Biting on hard objects
Whatever the case, if the injury is severe, the child requires immediate dental attention. To prevent some of these problems, children can wear mouthguards when playing some sports.
5. Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity may be caused by some of the other problems mentioned above. It refers to the discomfort and pain that children feel when drinking hot or cold foods and beverages. Even air currents entering the mouth can cause pain.
Some of the problems that can cause children’s teeth to feel sensitive include the following:
- Cavities
- New permanent teeth
- Bruxism or teeth-grinding
- Orthodontic treatment
- Gum disease
- A cracked or missing filling
It is important to detect and treat the cause with a pediatric dental specialist. If your child complains of tooth pain or sensitivity, the best thing to do is to take them to the dentist for a check-up.
6. Grinding
Grinding or bruxism is a habit that causes children to clench or grind their teeth. It is quite common in infants and toddlers, but children stop when their teeth develop.
If your child continues to grind his teeth after toddlerhood, there is a high risk that it will wear down the enamel on its teeth. This can lead to cavities and other dental problems. Your dental professional will determine whether mouthguards are necessary to prevent tooth wear. However, it is important to consult a team of professionals to understand and stop the cause of tooth grinding.
7. Thumb sucking
Children often use thumb sucking as a self-soothing mechanism. By doing so for prolonged periods, they can damage their teeth. This problem can usually lead to several issues, such as an open bite, meaning the upper and lower teeth do not touch.
Thumb sucking can also cause problems with proper chewing and even affect speech. If your child is still sucking its thumb after 3-4 years of age, it is best to look for ways to prevent it with the help of your pediatrician, dental professional, and other healthcare professionals.
Prevention is key: early habits for lifelong health
The bottom line is that by brushing your child’s teeth, staying informed about common problems, and regular visits to the dentist, you can prevent or correct most dental problems early.
Remember that it is up to you to create good habits in the children around you from a young age. Your care will be their care.

As parents, we strive to keep our children safe and healthy, and that includes their oral health. While regular dental check-ups are essential, unexpected situations can arise. Dental emergencies in children can be distressing, but knowing how to recognize and respond to them is crucial. In this article, we will explore what constitutes a dental emergency, common types of dental emergencies in children, and steps parents can take to handle these situations effectively.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency encompasses any oral health problem demanding immediate attention to relieve pain, avert additional harm, or preserve a tooth. These emergencies can happen suddenly and may involve a range of problems affecting your child’s teeth, gums, or mouth.
Understanding what constitutes a dental emergency is of paramount importance, especially for first-time parents. As caregivers, we often find ourselves faced with a myriad of new challenges, and when it comes to our child’s health, every moment counts.
By knowing when to seek urgent treatment, parents can potentially save their children from unnecessary pain, complications, and long-term dental issues. Being well-informed about dental emergencies is a crucial aspect of responsible parenthood, providing peace of mind and promoting the best possible care for their little ones.
Common Dental Emergencies in Children
Having a clear understanding of dental emergencies empowers parents to distinguish between situations that require immediate attention and those that can wait for a regular dental appointment. This knowledge not only helps alleviate anxiety but also ensures timely and appropriate care for their child’s oral health.
- Toothaches: Persistent toothaches can be a sign of an underlying problem, such as a cavity, abscess, or infection. If your child complains of a severe toothache, it’s essential to schedule a dental appointment promptly.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Accidents can lead to knocked-out or avulsed teeth. In this scenario, urgency is paramount. Rinse the tooth gently without scrubbing and try to place it back in its socket if possible. If not, keep it in a container of milk and seek immediate dental care.
- Broken or Chipped Teeth: If your child chips or breaks a tooth, gather any broken pieces and rinse their mouth with warm water. Contact the dentist for guidance on whether immediate care is necessary.
- Loose Baby Teeth: While loose baby teeth are a natural part of growing up, if a primary tooth becomes loose due to injury, consult your dentist for an evaluation.
- Object Stuck Between Teeth: If your child gets an object stuck between their teeth, resist the urge to use sharp objects to remove it, which could cause further damage. Instead, contact your dentist for assistance.
- Bleeding Gums: Persistent gum bleeding, especially after an injury or fall, could indicate gum damage or a more severe problem. Seek professional advice promptly.
Steps to Handle a Dental Emergency
Just in case you need it, here is a step guide:
- Stay Calm: Your child will look to you for reassurance, so try to remain calm and composed.
- Assess the Situation: Determine the severity of the dental emergency. Is there bleeding, swelling, or visible damage?
- Contact Your Dentist: Call your pediatric dentist immediately to explain the situation and receive guidance on the next steps. Many dental offices have emergency protocols and can provide immediate assistance.
- First Aid: Depending on the situation, you may need to provide basic first aid, such as rinsing the mouth with warm water, applying a cold compress to reduce swelling, or using over-the-counter pain relievers if recommended by your dentist.
- Transport Safely: If the situation requires a visit to the dentist’s office, ensure your child is transported safely. Keep any dislodged teeth or broken pieces in a clean container with milk or saline solution.
- Prevention: Remember that prevention is the best strategy. Encourage your child to wear mouthguards during sports activities, and maintain good oral hygiene to reduce the risk of dental emergencies.
Natural Ways to Alleviate Toothache Discomfort
While not substitutes for immediate dental care, some natural remedies can help alleviate the discomfort associated with toothaches caused by pain or inflammation. Here are five home remedies that can provide temporary relief for your child:
- Saltwater Rinse: To reduce inflammation and clean the affected area. Mix half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water, have your child swish it gently, and then spit it out.
- Garlic: Garlic’s natural antibacterial properties may help with toothache pain. Grind a garlic clove into a paste and administer it to the afflicted region. Use this remedy with caution due to its strong odor.
- Peppermint Tea: Peppermint tea has soothing properties. Brew a cup, let it cool down, and have your child rinse their mouth with it. You can also use a cooled tea bag as a compress on the sore area.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Pure aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory properties and can be applied directly to the painful area for relief.
- Ice Pack: Applying a cold compress or ice wrapped in a cloth to the outside of the cheek near the sore tooth can numb the area and reduce swelling. Ensure the ice doesn’t directly touch the skin to prevent frostbite.
These natural remedies can temporarily alleviate pain and inflammation, but it’s essential to remember that they do not replace the need for professional dental evaluation and treatment. Consulting a pediatric dentist promptly is crucial to address the underlying cause of the toothache and prevent further complications.
In conclusion, dental emergencies can be unsettling, but with the right knowledge and quick action, you can minimize the impact on your child’s oral health. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for prevention, but accidents can happen. Knowing how to respond can make all the difference in ensuring your child’s dental well-being. If you ever find yourself facing a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to reach out to your pediatric dentist for support and guidance. Your child’s smile is worth it!

“They’re just going to fall out eventually, so why do we need to treat or restore the baby teeth?” This question comes up more often than you might think, and in a way, it has logic to it. After all, we don’t fix broken or chipped fingernails, we let them fall off or clip them the rest of the way off. So why is it different when we talk about baby teeth?
Here’s a handful of reasons for you to understand why not only the routine daily dental care of your kids’ baby teeth is important but the value of filling cavities in baby teeth as opposed to leaving them alone or simply extracting the tooth.
1. Chewing Skills and Speech
Baby teeth serve to help the development of eating habits, and speech patterns. Consider that the front teeth primarily function to bite off foods, but the grinding process occurs with the molars. We prefer to extract teeth only in certain circumstances: when the tooth is so severely decayed that proper restoration is not possible, or if a primary tooth is preventing a permanent tooth from erupting.
Speech is the outcome of a blend of tongue, teeth, and lips working together as they control sound and airflow coming out of your mouth. Not every single sound requires the tongue to strike the teeth, but the majority do. Just for fun try saying the following sentence without allowing your tongue to touch your teeth or lips:
“Thank you for this delicious meal.” Doesn’t come out sounding correct at all, does it?
2. Keep the Space
Moreover, they are excellent placeholders. The formation of their bite and the drawn-out eruption of the permanent teeth is a delicate balance maintained by the primary teeth which generally have all erupted between the ages of three and four years old. Typically, healthy primary teeth won’t begin to fall out until your child is six to seven years old. Permanent teeth start erupting around the same time, but the eruption timeline for them stretches out until their late teens. Some wisdom teeth erupt even as late as 21 years of age. When a primary tooth is extracted, the rest of the teeth in the jaw can drift a bit, consequently crowding can be an issue later on.
3. Pain and Infection
Untreated cavities in primary teeth can spread, worsen, and lead to severe decay which in turn can be quite painful and negatively impact their quality of life. Abscesses, infections, dental sepsis are all painful complications that can develop and require serious interventions. While less painful perhaps, the untreated cavities in baby teeth can be visible and depending on their age impact their confidence and raise unnecessary insecurities.
4. Hypodontia / Oligodontia / Anodontia
This reason is often surprising to people, but it actually affects a markedly large percentage of the population. Moreover, it addresses the original question pretty precisely. Hypodontia is when one to six permanent tooth or teeth fail/s to even form. This means the baby tooth that erupts will never get a replacement and therefore its importance jumps to the front of the line, immediately. Taking care of the baby teeth should be important anyway, but if that baby tooth is the only one they will have in that position for the rest of their life? That certainly puts a new perspective on it, doesn’t it?
Oligodontia is when more than six permanent teeth fail to form and occurs significantly less often than hypodontia, while anodontia is a total absence of permanent teeth and is even rarer. The most common permanent teeth to be missing in a case of hypodontia are actually the wisdom teeth which often are extracted anyway so people don’t get concerned about a missing one or two. Next in line are the premolars that are located on the sides between the canines and the molars, followed by the upper lateral incisors, and then the lower central incisors.
An estimated 20% of adults have hypodontia, and while it’s been linked to genetics, research suggests environmental factors may influence its occurrence as well. The condition presents more often in women, with identical twins displaying a higher than average rate as well.
If you’re a parent reading this who has a baby tooth that was never replaced by a permanent tooth, then it is possible this trait could present in your child(ren) but should not be an automatic conclusion. Tell your child’s pediatric dentist if hypodontia applies to you, so they can be aware to look for it. If your child currently has a gap due to a lost baby tooth and the permanent tooth has yet to erupt, no need to panic. This does not automatically mean there is no permanent tooth, it is more than likely only a delayed eruption of the permanent tooth.
Restorations for Baby Teeth
If we discover a cavity in a baby tooth, we’ll discuss with you the options available for restoration so you can make an informed decision. Generally, we recommend resin composite fillings because they match the color of the teeth, and dry quickly allowing for a shorter period of time in the dentist chair.
Dental Checkups Matter
Even if your kids don’t have complaints, it’s important that they have routine dental office checkups. Some insurances only cover visits once a year, but we normally recommend bi-annual visits (every six months). When was the last time your kids came in to see us? We have four offices spread over the Bountiful area, all conveniently located and designed to put your child at ease. We’re here for you, so give us a call and put us to work!!

We write regularly about parent tips for encouraging dental hygiene, healthy eating habits, and our pediatric dental services, and yet the sheer breadth of information on the topic of children’s teeth can seem rather overwhelming. Our staff answers individual questions from parents (and kids!) regularly, and you might be surprised to know that many of the questions bouncing around in your head, are frequently asked by others as well. With this in mind, we’ve put together a master list of frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Pediatric Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)
When should I bring my child in for their first dental checkup?
We typically suggest you bring in your little one when their first tooth has erupted. This is generally between six to 12 months of age. If your baby is turning one year old and has yet to have their first tooth poke through, it’s time for a dental checkup, yes even without a tooth. For more in-depth information about this topic, check out our article.
How should I clean my baby’s teeth?
You can purchase a special infant toothbrush at most drugstores. The bristles should be soft and the head of the brush especially small to better fit their mouth. Brush twice a day, using a tiny amount of toothpaste (such as a grain of rice).
What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a regular dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete two to three additional years of specialized training after dental school. This additional training focuses on the techniques and tools specifically designed for children’s comfort as well as training to encounter, understand, and address the developmental and emotional needs for infants to adolescents, including children with special needs. For more information, read this article.
Are pacifiers bad for my baby’s teeth?
Pacifiers and thumb sucking are natural soothing habits for babies and toddlers. They can become harmful if they persist beyond three years of age. Chat with your pediatric dentist if you have concerns.
How often should my kid visit the dentist?
Everyone, adults included, should have two dental checkups per year. Most insurances have transitioned to including coverage for two per year, as companies analyze the cost benefits of preventative care. Be sure you’re maximizing your dental insurance benefits before the year is out, for more information about this, read our in-depth article.
How do I prevent tooth decay from nursing or bottle rot?
Research shows that breast milk while containing sugar, does not cause tooth decay, however once your baby begins eating foods the potential for tooth decay will arise. Bottle rot is a common term that refers to tooth decay that is caused due to improper bottle feeding habits. Keep your baby’s access to their bottle limited, and never put juice in it. Even before your baby erupts their first tooth, you should gently wash their gums with a clean washcloth and water to scrub away any lingering bacteria. For more detailed information about how to avoid bottle rot, read our article, here.
Should my child get dental sealants?
Dental sealants are a preventative measure dentists use that we strongly recommend. The crevices and ridges in teeth, particularly the back molars are favorite spots for bacteria and food stuffs to linger. Additionally, those back teeth are more difficult for children to reach when they brush. The dental sealants literally seal a protective coat to the crevices of the teeth protecting them from tooth decay and making them less deep, and therefore easier to brush clean. For more information about dental sealants, read here.
Does my child need fluoride treatments?
Is your primary source of water treated with fluoride? Or do you typically drink store-bought bottled water? Most city and town water sources have been treated with fluoride, it’s in fact considered one of the greatest public health accomplishments in the last century. Check to be sure your toothpaste has fluoride. When your child comes in for a dental visit we can discuss whether your child is a good candidate for a fluoride treatment, or supplement. We know that some families find the topic of fluoride controversial, so if you have concerns please bring them to us so that we can discuss. You can also read more about fluoride treatments, here.
What do I do if my child chips a tooth or one is knocked out?
Retrieve the tooth (or piece of it), but avoid touching the root. Place the tooth in a sealed container with milk, and call your pediatric dentist for an emergency dental appointment right away. For more detailed guidance if you find yourself in this circumstance, we’ve written up several scenarios and step by step instructions for how to respond. You can find them, here.
Many of these instances occur due to injuries from sports activities. We strongly urge parents to invest in mouth guards for their children. Mouth guards are required for contact sports such as football, but research shows they are necessary for all sports activities. For more information about mouth guards, check out this article.
What do I do when my child has a toothache?
If your child complains of a toothache, it is likely to be a symptom of tooth decay. Have them rinse their mouth out with some room temperature salt water. You can give them an appropriate dosage of child’s acetaminophen to help with the pain, and an icepack for their cheek if the area is also swollen. You’ll also need to schedule a visit with your pediatric dentist as soon as possible.
Why does a cavity in a baby tooth need to be filled?
A cavity in a baby tooth needs to be treated not only to ease your child’s pain, but also because the decay in one tooth can spread into others when left untreated. We prefer not to pull a tooth in such a circumstance because our body’s natural inclination is for the baby tooth to fall out when it’s ready. Until then, the baby teeth serve to preserve the space for the permanent tooth, and help with chewing and proper speech.
Are dental X-rays safe?
As previously mentioned, pediatric dentists are specially trained to work with kids. We take special care to limit exposure, lead protective aprons are used as is high-speed film. X-rays are important for pediatric dentists to properly assess dental issues so that nothing is overlooked that could become a bigger problem later on.

Moms and dads, holiday season is under way with the familiar scents and events as we pull out those gorgeous leafy decorations, pumpkins (pumpkin everything, really) costumes, and favorite movies, in addition to tissue boxes for sniffling noses and chapstick. Before you know it, Thanksgiving will arrive, and then it’s a frantic busy slide right into Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It’s a fun time of year full of family gatherings and events, yet it also means that your insurance benefits are coming close to a lapse.
Most insurance plans include coverage for dental services for all members of the family in question. You are paying those monthly premiums, however have you checked to see if you’re maximizing the dental insurance benefits in your plan? Some things to consider:
- Has each child in your family had dental X-rays taken this year?
- Has each child in your family had 2 dental cleanings this year?
- Has one of your children complained about dental pain but you’ve forgotten about it in the everyday bustle of life?
Questions to Ask Your Dental Insurance Provider
- What is my copay?
- What is my maximum coverage amount per person in the family?
- Does my coverage include basic preventative care?
- Are X-rays covered?
- If yes, under what circumstances and/or with what frequency?
- Are dental cleanings covered?
- If yes, how many per year?
- Are fluoride treatments covered?
- If yes, are their age restrictions for fluoride treatments?
- What is my coverage for basic restorative care?
- Is basic restorative care covered up to a certain amount or is a percentage of it covered?
- What is considered basic restorative care in my plan?
- Is in-office sedation covered in my plan?
General Information About Dental Insurance
Basic preventative care typically covers two dental cleanings per year, some plans include a fluoride treatment at the cleaning appointment under the coverage, while others do not. Other insurance plans only cover fluoride treatments for certain ages.
Annual X-rays may be covered by your insurance, while yet other plans only cover them when deemed necessary by the dentist. Such circumstances when X-rays would be necessary would be in preparation for restorative work.
Some plans may cover mouth guards for children under preventative care but not all. Which is unfortunate due to the fact that we know dental injuries are common and preventable with the use of mouth guards when engaging in any type of sport activity!
Basic restorative care typically includes fillings, dental emergencies such as chipped or knocked loose teeth, as well as crowns or root canals. It’s important to ask your insurance questions about basic restorative care, due to the fact that while fillings are almost always covered, they might have restrictions on said coverage. For example, most people prefer composite fillings on the grounds that the composite material blends in with the color of the tooth so as to not be obvious. Some dental plans may only cover amalgam fillings, which are structurally sound but have the disadvantage of being metal in appearance and therefore not very discreet.
Partial Coverage for Restorative Dental Work
Don’t be surprised if you learn that your plan will only fully cover some basic preventative care services. It’s pretty common for restorative care to be partially covered. Partial coverage can mean that they’ll cover up to a certain amount in a year period for each member of your family (or in some cases a certain amount per family) while with other insurance providers, partial coverage means the insurance company will cover a percentage of restorative care services.
Furthermore, some insurances cover partial until a threshold is reached. Upon reaching that threshold, you may be entitled to full coverage again. Accordingly, if this is your circumstance, it’s important to find out how close to that threshold you are.
In-Office Sedation Services and Dental Coverage
When you are checking the details of your dental coverage with your insurance provider, it’s a good idea to ask for details about sedation. Our offices provide three different sedation options:
- Oral Sedation – prescription sedatives for the night prior or the day of a procedure or visit, we may suggest and also implement if your child suffers dental anxiety or has developmental delays that may cause difficulties for dental procedures.
- Nitrous Oxide – also referred to as “laughing gas” is most often utilized in conjunction with a local numbing agent for restorative dental procedures.
- Intravenous Sedation – unlike general anesthesia utilized in hospitals by surgeons, our intravenous sedation technique does not inhibit the protective reflexes, which mainly means our patients under intravenous sedation can breathe on their own.
Any time we consider in-office sedation, we first review the options, the benefits, including the circumstances with the parents. If there is a concern for cost and/or insurance coverage, we will work with you and together we’ll find a solution.
