Changing teeth is very important for children. Because the appearance of teeth may damage a person's brand image, parents usually feel anxious when changing their children's teeth, fearing that their children will be in this link. For some reason, new teeth will be crooked.
But in some cases, although parents have been very careful, children's teeth are still not satisfactory.
My friend Xiao Zhao is very upset recently because her child's teeth look a little crooked after replacement.
Because if the child has a mouth, he can see the crooked teeth, and the gap between the teeth is very large, which also urges the child to pick his teeth for a long time after eating.
Xiao Zhao also feel very puzzled. Originally, the couple's teeth looked neat, but how did the child's teeth look crooked?
So confused parents like Xiao Zhao are rare in dental hospitals. There are even many parents who have to rush to the hospital clinic every week for their baby's teeth, and they are exhausted. So what's going on, causing the child's teeth to look crooked after changing teeth? Let's take your parents to get to know it.
What should I do if my baby changes his teeth and grows crooked?
Babies often have irregular teeth after changing their teeth, which is actually related to many factors. For example, some children have congenital factors, but some children's parents' teeth look beautiful, but due to some acquired factors, their teeth look very irregular. Let's actually get to know it.
1) Bad habits of babies
After some babies change their teeth, their teeth often look crooked and very ugly. In fact, it is related to some bad behavior habits of children.
For example, some babies have the habit of biting their hands since childhood, so if this bad behavior is maintained throughout the process of changing teeth, it will definitely endanger the growth and development of children's teeth, thus appearing crooked.
Take myself as an example. When I was young, I liked biting my lips with my teeth. So after I changed my teeth, some of my upper teeth became toothless, which was very harmful to my appearance.
2) Congenital harm of children
Then some congenital factors of children will also endanger the growth and development of teeth. For example, some children's parents' teeth are not together, so these genetic genes will be huge and will be passed on to their children.
Then some babies, because the digestion and absorption of nutrients are not very comprehensive in the case of mother's stomach, have always had shortcomings in their own growth and development. So in the case of teething, their teeth look ugly because of calcium deficiency.
3) The harm of indoor space to tooth growth and development.
Some children's teeth often look ugly, which has nothing to do with the above two factors. However, because the newly grown teeth are larger than the previous children's deciduous teeth, there is not enough indoor space for the growth and development of teeth, which makes the teeth look very congested and ugly.
Then some babies, because the new teeth that have just grown out are too small, lead to a large gap between teeth, and even in the case of eating, there will be the main performance of blocking teeth.
How to prevent the baby from changing teeth?
When the baby changes his teeth, if his teeth are crooked, it is very harmful to his appearance. Although the teeth can be improved according to the middle and late orthodontic methods, the whole process is very painful and expensive, so parents certainly want their children's teeth to be in place in one step.
Therefore, in the case of baby changing teeth, there will be many places that must be paid attention to, because this will endanger the growth and development of children's teeth. So what should parents do to make their children have beautiful new teeth?
(1) Pay attention to dental care in the oral cavity.
Many children do not have the concept of oral internal medicine when they are young. Even brushing teeth and gargling in the morning, middle and evening is very difficult for most children. Especially before going to bed at night, many children are reluctant to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths after eating.
However, if there is food residue in the mouth, it is actually unfavorable for the growth and development of new teeth. Because of the existence of food residue, the gap between teeth will increase, and it is also very prone to urinary calculi.
Then when the baby has this kind of tooth, it is very easy to make the new tooth look very ugly and make the gap between the teeth bigger. Therefore, parents must provide medical care for their children's teeth, and new teeth should not look ugly because they are lazy.
Parents must supervise their children relatively, for example, let their children brush their teeth twice in the morning, noon and evening, supervise the brushing time each time, and teach their children the correct brushing method.
(2) Try not to let the child touch the teeth.
Because in the case of replacing new teeth, the original child's deciduous teeth will become more and more unstable, and the new teeth that have just grown may be different in height. So many children can't control themselves, even lick their teeth with their tongues, or grow a little teeth soon.
However, this practice will not be conducive to the growth and development of new teeth, and even the bacteria on the children's hands will continue to make the teeth feel different, leading to tooth problems when the children change their teeth.
Because in the whole process of changing teeth, the baby's external force may touch, which may change the original growth and development direction of teeth, so the teeth will become more and more irregular if they do this for a long time.
Although some children have this habit for a long time, parents should guide them as correctly as possible to help them correct this bad habit.
For example, parents can divert their children's attention when they want to touch their teeth hard, or give them teeth-grinding biscuits when they feel uncomfortable because of teething. This method can avoid the influence of children on the growth and development of teeth and prevent new teeth from growing crooked.
3 Try to let your child bite more ingredients.
Many babies find it inconvenient to eat, because changing teeth on their children will put their teeth in jeopardy. Therefore, some parents will make the ingredients very detailed, and even let the children eat liquid ingredients immediately, so as to prevent the children from accidentally touching their baby teeth and causing pain.
However, although this practice can make children feel no pain caused by touch, it will do great harm to the growth and development of children's new teeth. If the child does not bite the ingredients for a long time, the occlusal ability of the teeth will decrease, which will prompt the child's deciduous teeth to fall off and increase the time of falling off. This has caused great harm to the growth and development of new teeth, resulting in uneven quality of teeth after they grow out.
Even some children will continue to grow double rows of teeth. This is because the baby's deciduous teeth have not fallen off, and new teeth have grown out, so this will happen, which will make the teeth look good and bad.
What can children eat when changing their teeth to prevent crooked teeth?
In the case of a child changing teeth, the ingredients taken by the baby are very important. Because they can't just eat liquid food, they must bite more ingredients.
In the meantime, if parents can choose something more suitable for their children when changing their teeth, they can usually make their children's teeth look stronger. Let's take your parents to know about it.
1. Foods with high calcium content
During the baby's tooth change, if the human body is short of calcium, it is very easy to make the teeth ugly. Therefore, the British Academy of Pediatrics suggests that parents should remember to supplement calcium for their babies during their tooth replacement.
Therefore, parents can choose ingredients with high calcium content for their children, such as lean pork and fish, which are all high in calcium. However, children should pay attention to their intake when eating this kind of food with high calcium content. If the intake is too large, it may make the child obese, which will not help the child's body shape and even cause other problems.
2. Ingredients that children can chew.
Because the baby is changing his teeth, if the teeth don't get good occlusal exercise, then the child's new teeth may become more and more crooked. Therefore, parents must prepare some ingredients for their children to bite in advance, instead of making everything their children eat crisp.
Some parents think that children should not eat chicken feet and big bones during tooth changing. Because it is not chewy, you can actually try to give it to your child. Because it can not only make children supplement a lot of nutrition, but also make their teeth bite tighter and get stronger exercise.
However, when applying ingredients that must be bitten to children, parents should make relative adjustments according to the specific conditions of their teeth. For example, if a child's teeth don't grow new teeth, they will soon fall out, which is inconvenient. Then parents can make relative adjustments to prevent children from damaging the gums that have not yet grown because of this problem.
3. Ingredients containing more vitamins
Just because a child changes his teeth doesn't mean that all the teeth can fall off completely naturally. In some cases, children's deciduous teeth will be dragged longer and longer, and they must be pulled out by external force, which will inevitably cause root wounds.
Therefore, if the child's teeth grow stronger, in fact, it is necessary for parents to supplement him with more nutritious ingredients at this time. Because this can speed up the repair of wounds on children's roots and make new teeth grow faster, parents can choose some ingredients with high vitamin content, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, which are very good choices.
Children's teething can be said to be a major event, so parents must provide medical care for their children's teething according to their specific conditions. If the child has all the discomfort during the whole tooth changing process, parents must take the child to the hospital immediately to see what is going on and make the child feel uncomfortable.
