Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Key points about periodontal disease in children Periodontal disease is a serious bacterial infection that destroys the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It is also called gum disease. The main cause is plaque buildup on the teeth. Children are more likely to have gingivitis, the mildest form of the disease.
