(A) Periodontal disease: Redness and swelling elicited by bacterial infection of the gums.
(B) Delayed formation: The baby teeth may not erupt until after one year. When they erupt, they may be smaller than normal.
(C) Increased likelihood of cavities: Low vitamin C status prevents sufficient mineralization, allowing infection to establish on the teeth.
(D) Canker sores: Painful mouth sores associated with bacteria and/or viruses.
