My baby has big gaps between his teeth. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The gap between the baby’s teeth you are referring to is large. Are these the baby’s deciduous teeth or permanent teeth?

If it’s your baby’s deciduous teeth, then there’s no need to worry, and I personally think this is a good thing!

Because a child’s deciduous teeth begin to grow when the child is about 6 months old. The deciduous teeth are generally smaller. As the child develops, the body gradually grows, causing the deciduous teeth to become smaller and smaller. The feeling of sparseness makes the gap between teeth look unsightly. However, in fact, it is just preparation for the future growth of permanent teeth.

The so-called permanent teeth are the teeth of our adults. It means that after the baby's teeth are replaced, the new teeth that grow out are the teeth that will accompany him throughout his life. And if you try to imagine, if a person's permanent teeth are as small as his deciduous teeth, then when he grows up and smiles, will the proportions of his teeth match those of various parts of his body? The proportions are quite inconsistent!

So, permanent teeth will definitely be much larger than deciduous teeth. Well, here comes the key point. If the size of the baby's gums is only suitable for the neatly arranged small deciduous teeth, and if there is no gap between the small deciduous teeth, then when the teeth are replaced, the deciduous teeth will fall out and the permanent teeth will grow in. After they come out, what should we do if the permanent teeth are larger than the deciduous teeth?

I think that will definitely cause the permanent teeth to have no place to grow when they grow out, and then they can only be squeezed into a ball, the teeth are not arranged neatly, and they are crooked and swaying everywhere. For teeth like this, you can only undergo dental correction and plastic surgery after the permanent teeth have been replaced.

But if the gap between the deciduous teeth is relatively large, then there will be a certain amount of space for the relatively large permanent teeth to grow in. In this way, the baby's permanent teeth should be neat and beautiful in the future. of teeth.
