What Causes Infection In The Gums After The Cap Are Inserted In A 2 Year Old?
My grand daughter who is just under 2 years old had caps put on her front teeth on March 20th of this year and now her gums are infected. She had the procedure in the office. They took her to the dentist today and were told to brush her teeth better and to rub mouth wash on the gum area. Her gums bleed after brushing and they are saying it is a good thing... as I recall, gums bleeding is usually a bad thing. since things change from year to year with research, I wanted to clarify this situation.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, bleeding from gums while brushing indicates periodontal problem it can be there is formation of periodontal pocket .
Advise her to do proper brushing , take care of her brushing
You consult dentist and go for oral prophylaxis .
Advise her to do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing her good health.
