What if a six-year-old child has "double teeth"? Why are there "double teeth"?
When the child reaches the age of five or six, the deciduous teeth will retreat, thus growing real new teeth. However, some parents find that their children have double teeth. What is the reason for double-layer teeth? Children have double teeth, what should parents do?

First, why are there double-layered teeth?

In fact, children have double teeth during tooth changing. Mainly because the food that parents usually give their children is too soft and fine. If the child's teeth are not fully exercised, the natural deciduous teeth will stay in the mouth, but it will not delay the growth of new teeth. Moreover, some children may often have bad habits such as biting or sucking their fingers and licking their teeth in their lives. Often these bad habits will also lead to the growth of teeth, and finally affect the growth of new teeth and the fading of deciduous teeth.

Second, what should I do if I have double teeth?

1. Extraction of deciduous teeth. Under normal circumstances, the baby's deciduous teeth will automatically fall off after the new teeth grow out, but if the permanent teeth have completely grown out, but there are no signs of deciduous teeth falling off at this time, then parents must take their children to a professional stomatological hospital to remove the deciduous teeth, otherwise it will affect the growth of permanent teeth, leading to irregular and unsightly permanent teeth, which may eventually affect the occlusion problem.

2. Eat more hard and rough food. Often children can't lose their deciduous teeth because the food they eat is too thin. Therefore, in order to speed up the deciduous teeth falling off, parents had better give their children some hard and rough food, so that the roots of deciduous teeth will loosen during the chewing process and fall off naturally after a long time.

Finally, remind parents that if their children are in the period of tooth replacement, they must pay attention to oral health. If you find that your teeth don't fall off naturally, you must take your child to the hospital for treatment in time. You should also pay attention to oral hygiene at ordinary times, ensure the frequency of brushing your teeth at least twice a day, and eat less sweets to protect your teeth.
