Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease and although this is more common amongst adults, this can also occur amongst children. It is a common myth that children cannot be affected by periodontal disease because recent studies have shown that an increasing amount of children should be educated about periodontal health and care to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
