1, the tongue strap is too short to operate in time.
When Lele babbles, the pronunciation is always vague, especially the rolling tongue and palatal sound. Dad thought, this is probably a normal phenomenon for babies to learn to speak! But why do some babies pronounce more clearly? As soon as I consulted the dentist, I realized that Lele couldn't speak clearly because the tongue strap was too short. Dad took Lele to the hospital for a minor operation. Now, Lele can speak clearly
self-diagnostic
The lingual frenum is connected between the tongue and the lower palate. If the tongue strap is too short, the baby's tongue can't extend forward beyond the lips. When you stretch forward reluctantly, the tip of your tongue is M-shaped, which will affect breastfeeding and pronunciation. After the lower incisors grow out, the lingual frenulum rubs against the teeth when the baby sucks milk, and the lingual frenulum will grind out ulcers.
Mom's countermeasures
Take the baby to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible.
The benefits of early treatment
First, the baby is not sensitive to pain, and early surgery does not require anesthesia, which is simple and easy, and can be breastfed after surgery.
Second, the key age for learning spoken English is 1-2 years old, and the operation should be carried out before the baby has formed some habits of unclear pronunciation. Otherwise, even with surgery, some pronunciations are difficult to correct.
2. Late eruption and early eruption of deciduous teeth
Oda had her first deciduous tooth when she was three months old. Oda's grandmother talked about it, but Oda's mother was worried. Will this tooth have problems in the future?
self-diagnostic
Teeth in infancy are mainly deciduous teeth, which begin to erupt around 7 months after the baby is born and come out one after another around 2 years old. The time when deciduous teeth come out varies greatly from individual to individual. The first deciduous teeth (usually mandibular deciduous teeth) come out 4-5 months earlier, 1 1 month later, or even 17 months later. It is normal to grow the first deciduous tooth within one year after birth. If the baby has no teeth after one year old, it belongs to delayed eruption of deciduous teeth.
Teeth erupt at birth or neonatal period, which is premature eruption of deciduous teeth. Most of these deciduous teeth have no or underdeveloped roots and are generally loose. Early eruption of deciduous teeth means that the eruption time is earlier and the root development is less than 1/3 of the total root length.
Mom's countermeasures
Be sure to go to the hospital to check the causes of delayed eruption of deciduous teeth to see if there is "edentulous deformity" or developmental retardation caused by some systemic diseases, such as rickets and endocrine system diseases.
Early eruption of deciduous teeth is easy to fall off, and it is very dangerous if it is inhaled by the baby into the trachea. Therefore, teeth that erupt prematurely, whether normal or redundant, should be pulled out as soon as possible if they are loose, so as not to cause serious consequences. Although some of them are not loose, they will cause ulcers because of sucking and stimulating mucosal ligaments. At this time, you should go to the hospital to grind the edge of your teeth, or change the feeding method and feed with a spoon. The wound can be wiped with purple medicine, and it will be fine in a few days.
Special reminder
When some babies are born, you can see a yellow-white ball the size of a grain of rice on your gums, commonly known as "Ma Yazi". This is a residual dental organ, which will fall off by itself. Never wipe with a cloth, in case it breaks the baby's oral mucosa and causes infection.
3. Congenital tooth loss and too many congenital teeth.
Jingjing is almost 4 years old, but there is still a big hole on both sides of her lower incisor, and no new teeth have grown. Dad is very worried that these two teeth will never grow out like grandma.
self-diagnostic
The maxilla of all deciduous teeth should be 10 and the mandible should be 20. If it is less than 20, it may be congenital tooth loss. The reason for missing teeth may be that the tooth germ did not occur, or it may stop developing halfway, which can be determined by X-ray examination. This phenomenon is hereditary.
Too many congenital teeth means too many teeth. This situation is rare in deciduous teeth, but it is very common in permanent teeth, mostly in the upper anterior teeth area. The supernumerary teeth are mostly conical and prismatic, and some of them are similar to normal teeth.
therapeutic regimen
If there are not many missing teeth and the gap is not big, which does not affect the occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth, it can be left alone. However, if there are many missing teeth, or the gap is too large, which causes the adjacent teeth to tilt or the contralateral teeth to grow out, it is necessary to make temporary repairs or functional retainers to ensure the normal development of the jaw and the normal pronunciation of the baby. With the growth of babies, dentures must be constantly replaced. When the baby grows up, consider permanent restoration, such as making porcelain teeth. The reduction effect is very good, and it can almost reach the level of confusing the real with the fake.
Extra teeth should be found early and treated in time. Extra teeth should be pulled out in time. Extra teeth that can't grow can be left untreated if they don't affect other teeth and have no lesions.
4, enamel dysplasia
When Kiki 1 year-old, she accidentally fell off her chair, and two front teeth of her primary teeth broke off. Now, he is 8 years old. When he eats cold food, his two front teeth will be sore, and even when he breathes through his mouth, he is uncomfortable. His two teeth have only grown for more than a year, but there are many small grooves and dark brown spots on the surface, and the shapes of his teeth are irregular. What's going on here?
self-diagnostic
Trauma, malnutrition, eating harmful chemicals and some systemic diseases, such as chicken pox and measles, can all lead to hypoplasia of enamel. It is mainly manifested as a band-shaped or pit-shaped depression on the tooth surface, or a rough chalk-shaped stain on the tooth surface, whose shape is different from that of normal teeth.
Mom's countermeasures
The enamel is poorly developed and prone to dental caries and even pulpitis, so special attention should be paid to it. Expectant mothers should pay attention to comprehensive nutrition during pregnancy to prevent the baby's teeth from calcification. For the teeth that the baby has already grown, we should pay attention to early moth prevention.
5. Dental caries of deciduous teeth
One day, Yang Yang's mother accidentally found many small holes in two-year-old Yang Yang's front teeth. These holes are not black, so you can't see them without looking carefully. These little holes don't seem to have any effect on Yang Yang, who is still eating and smoking happily. However, my mother was still worried and took Yang Yang to the hospital. The doctor said it was the early stage of dental caries. If left untreated, the hole will get bigger and the baby will be too painful to eat.
self-diagnostic
Because of the low degree of calcification, weak acid resistance, and polysaccharide, sticky and acid-prone food, deciduous teeth may suffer from dental caries (that is, tooth decay) soon after they grow out: tooth discoloration, decalcification, small holes and even defects. The incidence of dental caries in infants is high. In addition to the above reasons, the baby's poor oral hygiene is also a very important reason, because he doesn't cooperate with brushing his teeth and his parents don't pay enough attention to it.
Mom's countermeasures
Prevention is the key to deciduous dental caries, so you should check your baby's mouth regularly. After the deciduous teeth grow out, you should start brushing your teeth. You can wrap a soft cloth around your fingers or brush your teeth with a special toothbrush. Rinse your mouth immediately after eating milk and food, brush your teeth before going to bed at night, and eat less foods and drinks with high sugar content. Don't let children sleep with pacifiers. Stop using bottles after 1 year old. Once the problem of deciduous teeth is found, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and keep the deciduous teeth as much as possible to facilitate the replacement of permanent teeth. In addition, fluoride can be used locally to prevent moths.
Special reminder
So far, it has not been proved that the use of fluoride toothpaste will cause the problem of fluoride addition, but the baby can swallow 0.25-0.5mg of fluoride by mistake when brushing his teeth twice a day and calcifying his crown. Therefore, when the baby brushes his teeth with fluoride toothpaste, it should be done under the supervision of his parents. Don't brush his teeth often. Only give toothpaste the size of peas at a time to prevent accidental swallowing. Rinse your mouth, brush your teeth and spit it out.
6. Plot Day
1 year-old Lele often likes to bite her upper lip with her lower teeth. Recently, Dad found that Lele's upper front teeth seemed to grow inward. Dad is worried that Lele is not a "day to cover the ground"!
Mom's countermeasures
For the newly-grown, less serious "ground-covered sky", you can use the biting and prying method, that is, put a wooden tongue depressor or a wide and flat popsicle stick on the biting surface of the baby's lower incisors, and pry the inner oblique upper incisors outward for 10 minute each time, 3-5 times a day, until the "ground-covered sky" is released and the occlusion is normal. If the baby or parents can't hold on, or the weather is severe, they need to go to the dental clinic for treatment with appliances.
7. Anterior tooth trauma
Qingqing's mother is very angry today. Qing Qing fell down when the nanny took care of the baby at home. More unfortunately, Qingqing's front teeth hit the stool, causing a small gap and swollen gums. I can't help it Let's take Qingqing to the hospital first. Fortunately, the gap is not big. After the doctor checked, he only applied a little medicine to Qingqing's teeth.
Babies are prone to lose their front teeth, but because of their strong recovery ability, they are not seriously injured, and there is generally no effect after the deciduous teeth are reset; Tooth extraction is necessary unless the tooth falls off seriously or it is easy to loosen when changing teeth quickly. If a tooth falls into the alveolar bone, it is necessary to determine whether it will have an adverse effect on the permanent teeth in the future. If it affects, it needs to be unplugged. Broken teeth also need to go to the hospital for treatment.
8. Tetracycline teeth
If the mother takes more tetracycline and oxytetracycline antibiotics at the end of pregnancy or when the baby is less than 5 years old, it may stain the baby's teeth. There is a common kind called mottled enamel teeth, which have chalky or yellowish brown patches on the enamel surface, some are uneven and yellowish brown, and the teeth are fragile and easily damaged.
Mom's countermeasures
Note that the baby should follow the doctor's advice and don't abuse antibiotics. If the baby's teeth already have stains, you can rub the tooth surface with a towel dipped in toothpaste, or take the baby to the hospital for heating and decoloring with 30% hydrogen peroxide; If the baby has light mottled enamel teeth, you can ask a doctor for help, and apply dilute hydrochloric acid to discolor the macula area to make the macula lighter. Pay attention to protect the baby's gums when taking medicine.
9.snow mouth disease
Eight-month-old Shanshan has been crying for two days, and a circle of white things has been born on her mouth. I didn't know Shanshan had snowball mouth disease until I went to the hospital. However, my mother can't figure it out. I haven't heard that other children have this disease. How can Shanshan be so unlucky?
self-diagnostic
Snow Mouth Disease, also known as thrush, is a disease infected by Candida albicans, which is more common in infants and young children and is infected by pregnant women's birth canal, delivery utensils and breastfeeding utensils. At first, the baby's mucous membrane was congested, and there was a tingling or burning sensation in his mouth. Then there are condensed white spots on the mucosa, which gradually expand and merge with each other to form a white velvet-like film, just like a layer of white snow, so it is called snow mouth disease. The baby's general reaction is not obvious, and some babies will have symptoms such as low fever, irritability, refusal to eat and crying.
therapeutic regimen
Rinse baby's mouth gently with 1-2% sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and remove the residual food every 2-3 hours 1 time, or apply it locally with 65438+ million units nystatin suspension per ml every 2-3 hours.
Special reminder
The white membrane in the baby's mouth can't be torn off. If forcibly torn off, it will cause mucosal erosion and bleeding, and will soon form a white film.
10, herpetic stomatitis
Herpetic stomatitis is a kind of acute viral infection, which occurs in winter and spring. It mostly occurs in children before the age of 6, and it is more common in infants from 6 months to 3 years old.
self-diagnostic
The baby always has a fever first and then his mouth is bad. He often has a sudden high fever, drooling, crying and is unwilling to eat. At first, there was no obvious lesion in the mouth, which was often mistaken for a cold. After 2-3 days, the baby's gums, tongue, cheeks and lips became red and swollen, and small red spots with clear boundaries appeared. Then, on the basis of erythema, tiny blisters with dense needle tips are formed, and ulcers are formed after the blisters burst. At this point, the body temperature gradually drops.
therapeutic regimen
Go to the hospital as soon as possible while ensuring the baby's full nutrition and rest, and don't use drugs indiscriminately. Treatment is mainly to improve the body's resistance. When you have a high fever, you can take Xiaoer antipyretic tablets or physical cooling, and at the same time take Viruling tablets, antiviral oral liquid or Banlangen granules. Oral local ulcer can be treated with stomatitis spray or watermelon frost spray. In severe cases, Shuanghuanglian and antibiotics should be injected intravenously.
Special reminder
In places where babies gather, such as kindergartens, infection should be prevented, and the room should be ventilated frequently to keep the air fresh. If there is a baby suffering from this disease in kindergarten, oral antiviral oral liquid or Banlangen granule should be taken to prevent it.
This disease rarely produces antibodies, and it is easy to recur.
What bad habits will affect the development of teeth?
1. Often suck your fingers, stick out your tongue and bite your lower lip, which will cause the upper incisors to protrude and form buckteeth;
2. Breathing through the mouth will also make the upper incisors protrude and open the lips and teeth;
3. The habit of biting your lips will form a "ground wrapped in the sky";
4. Always eating with one tooth will make the development of both sides of the face asymmetrical;
5. Putting your hands, elbows or fists under one side of your face while sleeping, or holding one side of your cheek with your hands, may affect the development of your teeth and cause tooth deformity.
Early prevention is the most effective way to eliminate the above possible problems. Reasonable nursing and psychological counseling methods should be adopted to make the baby give up bad habits.
