Babies do not typically get periodontal disease. If they have teeth, they may get a condition called gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). This is easily corrected by wiping the inside of the baby's mouth with a damp cloth after each meal to remove remaining food debris.
If you are concerned, take the baby to a pedodontist (dentist who specializes in dental care of children).
