Highlights
Herpetic gingivostomatitis is a condition that most often results from initial gingiva and oral mucosa infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)
While herpetic gingivostomatitis is the most common cause of gingivostomatitis in children before the age of 5, it can occur in adults
Once a patient is infected with the herpes simplex virus, the infection can recur in the form of herpes labialis with intermittent re-activation occurring throughout life [1]
