The part of the dental practice providing dental care for children is called Periodontics. The pediatric dental care begins at birth through the eruption of the second molar between the ages of eleven through thirteen. Motivation is an important aspect in recurring dental care. Parents must accomplish their role in educating and motivation their child to care for their teeth and gums in the oral cavity. Parents need to recognize and identify dental problems and then can instruct children and get them prepared for the dental service.

Children’s favorite foods are candy bars, cariogenic snacks, jelly sandwiches, soft drinks because they’re more appealing to them. That diminished their appetite and those promote tooth decay. Those cariogenic food break down into simple sugars in the mouth and used by the bacteria that convert the sugars in acid. This acid attacks the tooth, causing demineralization of the hard tissue of the tooth enamel and lead to dental caries. Nutrient from foods are important to facilitate growth to maintain homeostasis and achieve optimal health, but variety of foods consumed at adult age may have negative impact on the teeth and gums in the mouth. Adults are more motivated than children in recurring dental service. They don’t require much assistance to get prepared for dental care, but both children and young adults are exposed to the same problem with the intake of cariogenic foods in the oral cavity. Periodontal disease also occurs in children and adolescent causing gingivitis, gingival recession. Gingivitis is one the most prevalent in gum diseases characterized by redness, gingival bleeding, and edema. It is common in all ages. One significant case of gingivitis is the formation of the dental plague, a sticky mass containing bacteria that make the tissue around
