The most important preventive step against periodontal disease is to establish good oral health habits with your child. There are basic preventive steps to help your child maintain good oral health:

Establish good dental hygiene habits early. When your child is 12 months old, you can begin using toothpaste when brushing his or her teeth. When the gaps between your child's teeth close, it's important to start flossing.
Serve as a good role model by practicing good dental hygiene habits yourself.
Schedule regular dental visits for family checkups, periodontal evaluations and cleanings.
Check your child's mouth for the signs of periodontal disease, including bleeding gums, swollen and bright red gums, gums that are receding away from the teeth and bad breath.A well-balanced diet, including plenty of vitamin C and calcium, may reduce the likelihood of developing red swollen gum.
use syp motillium one tsf tds for the vomiting thrice daily.
