Child With Swollen Gums & Bottle Caries

Child With Swollen Gums-1

Patient Condition on Arrival

A 4-year-old child arrived with severely swollen gums and multiple bottle caries, accompanied by intense dental anxiety. Previous dental experiences had made the child fearful and uncooperative, refusing to open their mouth during treatment.

The parents were understandably distressed and concerned about their child’s oral health and comfort.
