Herpectic Gingivostomatitis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"baby<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This condition is a contagious mouth infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1.) It is commonly experienced at its first onset in childhood before the age of 5, but can also be experienced in adulthood in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This condition is typically spread by direct contact of droplets or secretions from an infected individual (whether symptomatic or asymptomatic.) Once a person is infected with the virus, it lies dormant and causes episodes of reactivation in cold sores or fever blisters. Herpetic gingivostomatitis presents as fever, painful ulcer type lesions on the gums and cheeks that bleed easily and even necrosis of gum tissue. A child experiencing herpetic gingivostomatitis will usually feel irritable and experience a loss of or decreased appetite. Treatment consists of rest and mild pain medication for relief of symptoms if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand\/Foot\/Mouth Disease <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a contagious viral infection common in childhood. The incubation period is 3-6 days, meaning the period of time between contracting the virus and presenting symptoms. Symptoms of hand\/foot\/mouth disease are a low-grade fever, sore throat, irritability, loss of appetite and blisters or sores inside the mouth, a red rash on the palms, and soles of the feet and sometimes the buttocks. The virus is easy to contract in childhood and in childcare settings. Contamination can occur from contact with infected persons’ bodily secretions such as mucus, respiratory droplets and saliva. Symptoms typically resolve after a few days.  Learn more about this disease here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eruption Cysts\/ Gingivitis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As teeth are erupting and exfoliating, there is the potential for eruption cysts and eruption gingivitis to occur. When a tooth pushes through the gum, the gum may be susceptible to infection while there is still a small portion, or flap, covering part of the tooth. Sometimes a small cyst can form at the site of an erupting tooth. Eruption cysts\/ gingivitis presents as a localized area of pain, red puffy gums and gums that bleed easily. Eruption cysts\/ gingivitis usually resolve on their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
