Can the baby eat sugar when changing his teeth?
Try not to eat sugar, the wound is not easy to recover.
Children eat too much sugar during tooth changing, which can easily lead to dental caries. Dental caries have a serious impact on children, especially those who change their teeth. The following are the effects of eating sugar during tooth changing:
(1) Asymmetry of facial development: Because chewing with dental caries can cause pain, children generally avoid chewing with the side with dental caries, which will cause asymmetry of facial development once they get into the habit.
(2) Maxillofacial dysplasia: The masticatory organ in childhood is deciduous dentition. Just as leg muscles need exercise to stimulate exercise, human jaws need chewing to stimulate development. If the chewing is reduced due to dental caries, the jaw bone will not be stimulated and the development will be affected, resulting in different degrees of maxillofacial deformities and different degrees of severity.
(3) Disordered occlusal relationship of teeth: Dental caries formed by deciduous teeth are easy to fall off earlier, but at this time, deciduous teeth do not grow out, so there are many gaps between teeth, and adjacent teeth will grow into the gaps, resulting in disordered occlusal relationship.
(4) Causing other diseases: With the aggravation of infection, dental caries may cause other dental diseases, such as inflammatory lesions of dental pulp tissue, infection between teeth and dysplasia of permanent teeth.
(5) Affect children's eating habits and appetite: Children will feel uncomfortable when chewing after long dental caries, which may affect children's eating mood and may cause children's partial eclipse or anorexia for a long time.
(6) Affect the correct pronunciation: If the front teeth are affected by dental caries, it will not only affect the appearance, but also cause the child to be unable to speak normally.
Is it okay for children to change their teeth too early?
The average child's first tooth falls off at the age of 6-7. Can children change their teeth too early?
Premature tooth replacement is usually because the child's teeth fall off after trauma, such as teeth being hit; It may also be caused by some oral diseases, such as tooth inflammation and dental caries. Gingivitis is very common in children, but periodontal disease is very rare, so mothers need to know what causes deciduous teeth to fall off prematurely to protect the remaining deciduous teeth. Because it lays a good foundation for the normal growth of permanent teeth. Early diagnosis helps doctors to take effective measures to make permanent teeth erupt and arrange normally.
Therefore, parents must be alert to the time when their children change their teeth and be diligent in observing their teeth. If children's deciduous teeth are found to fall off prematurely due to dental caries, trauma, periodontal disease, etc. Seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid damaging occlusal function and affecting the normal development of permanent teeth and maxillofacial region.
Those things about changing teeth
Starting with my first tooth, which was about 6 years old, I changed my second tooth, which is a permanent tooth. At this time, the deciduous teeth began to fall off in sequence, and the number of permanent teeth was 8 ~ 12 more than that of deciduous teeth, that is, each row of newly grown permanent teeth was 14 ~ 16, and the total number of permanent teeth was 28 ~ 32 (some people never had wisdom teeth).
First of all, parents don't have to worry about the baby's newborn front teeth being uneven or grinding their teeth.
After the new teeth grow out, the cutting edge (that is, the cusp) is uneven and needs to be gradually smoothed, and the baby will involuntarily bite and "align". When I was about 7 years old, the upper two front teeth came out. Parents found that the children's two front teeth were not next to each other, and there was a gap in the middle, fearing that the two front teeth would separate. In fact, this is the development process of teeth after eruption. After the teeth on both sides grow out, the front teeth will slowly close. If the gap is too large and affects the growth of teeth on both sides, so that the gap cannot be closed, you should go to the hospital to find a dentist to correct it.
Secondly, when the child's new front teeth grow out, many parents think that the child has "big teeth", which is ugly.
There is no need to worry about this. If the permanent teeth are as big as the deciduous teeth, as the children grow up day by day and the maxillofacial region develops into adulthood, the teeth will become ugly because they are too small.
Third, children often have "double teeth" when changing their teeth.
This is because the front teeth generally grow out of deciduous teeth, and when the child's deciduous teeth have not fallen off and new teeth grow next to them, double-layered teeth will appear. "Double-layer teeth" are not harmful, which will not only limit the normal development of children's jaws, but also affect the occlusion of upper and lower teeth, hinder chewing ability, and affect eating, digestion and absorption. Therefore, when children are found to have "double teeth", they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to remove deciduous teeth and give up the normal position of permanent teeth growth.
Normal deciduous teeth can promote jaw development, maintain the eruption position of subsequent permanent teeth and guide the eruption of subsequent permanent teeth. If the deciduous teeth are missing prematurely due to trauma and other reasons, parents should also ask a doctor to make a retainer as soon as possible to ensure that the gap between them will not be narrowed, laying a good foundation for the normal growth of permanent teeth.
Finally, if permanent teeth are delayed, it may be that the position of permanent teeth in the jaw is abnormal, which hinders the growth of permanent teeth. It may also be related to children's health, nutritious diet and heredity. Take your child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and symptomatic treatment. You must not use supplements, hormones and other methods to promote tooth growth, otherwise it will bring bad consequences.
Parents should always observe the growth of children's new teeth after their children begin to change their teeth. Some children have bad habits such as sticking out their tongues, sucking their fingers, licking their teeth, biting pencils and biting their lips when changing their teeth. Parents should correct it in time, otherwise it will cause tooth deformity and affect the child's bite force.
