● Gingivitis and Gum Disease - Often overlooked in children, leading to pain, misalignment, and early tooth loss.

● Orthodontic Problems - Genetic misalignment issues like overbite or gaps; early detection is crucial.

● Dental Injuries - Common from play; urgent care is needed for broken or knocked-out teeth.
