• Keystone Periodontics - Mini Gum Hygiene Program (Ages 9–17)

    At Keystone Periodontics, we know that ages 9 to 17 are some of the most important — and most challenging—years for your child’s oral health. As children enter the mixed-dentition phase and begin taking on more responsibility for their own brushing habits, it’s common for their oral hygiene to slip.

    Add in orthodontic treatment such as braces, and keeping teeth and gums healthy becomes even more difficult.

    That’s exactly why we created our Mini Gum Hygiene Program — a specialized, child-friendly periodontal care plan designed to protect growing smiles before problems begin.

  • What Makes Our Program Different?

    🌟 Advanced gum care, tailored to young patients:
    Our program focuses on early detection and treatment of gum inflammation, plaque buildup, and hygiene challenges unique to growing children.

    🌟 Support for kids with braces:
    Brackets, wires, and appliances create hard-to-clean areas that can quickly lead to gum swelling, stains, and long-term gum recession. We help children master techniques that keep their gums healthy throughout orthodontic treatment.

    🌟 Positive habits that last a lifetime:
    We don’t just “clean teeth”—we teach kids how to clean effectively. With guidance on brushing, flossing (even with braces!), and healthy habits, we empower them to take pride in their smile.

    🌟 Gentle, comfortable, and confidence-building:
    Our team makes every visit calm, supportive, and educational. Children feel encouraged, not judged, and parents feel reassured that their child’s gum health is being monitored professionally.
