What should I do if my baby's deciduous teeth are injured?
Every mother wants her baby to have healthy and beautiful teeth, but because the baby is active, it will inevitably bump or fall, which is easy to cause tooth trauma. Some parents think that deciduous teeth should be changed anyway, and it doesn't matter if they are injured. Is that really the case?

1-2-year-old babies are most prone to deciduous tooth trauma.

When the baby just learned to walk at the age of 1-2, his ability to act alone gradually increased, but his balance ability was still poor and he could not control his body freely. It is easy to fall and hurt his deciduous teeth, especially his deciduous incisors. In addition, when the baby is 3 or 4 years old, it is a particularly active period, riding a bicycle, playing a scooter, playing roller skating and so on. It is also easy to cause tooth damage. Therefore, during this period, parents must help their babies to take protective measures.

Trauma of deciduous teeth will affect the growth of permanent teeth.

Some parents think that it doesn't matter if the deciduous teeth need to be changed anyway. That was not the case. Permanent tooth germ is located under the root of deciduous teeth. Trauma of deciduous teeth may affect or damage the permanent tooth germ, resulting in abnormal eruption position of permanent teeth and abnormal crown shape. Trauma of deciduous teeth, such as embedded deciduous teeth, may also lead to the necrosis of permanent tooth germs and stop the development of tooth germs. In addition, the trauma of deciduous teeth may also affect teeth cutting and eating, which will lead to indigestion, malnutrition and growth and development obstacles; Because teeth are important tissues involved in pronunciation, untreated deciduous teeth trauma may also affect children's language ability. Therefore, the trauma of deciduous teeth must be treated in time to avoid affecting permanent teeth.

What about deciduous teeth trauma?

What should I do about deciduous teeth trauma? If the child has bleeding after tooth punching, parents should immediately clean the wound with flowing water, and then use clean gauze or absorbent cotton to stop the bleeding. After stopping bleeding, the child should be taken to the hospital immediately, and a professional doctor should be asked to check whether there are other problems. If parents find that their teeth are loose, dislocated, broken or impacted, don't wipe their teeth and shake their teeth to avoid aggravating the condition.

1. Primary tooth concussion: Primary tooth concussion is easily overlooked because there is no tooth defect, but this situation may often have serious consequences. Therefore, after the baby's teeth are finished, parents should check whether the teeth are loose, and follow up to observe whether the teeth change color, or the gums are red and swollen, and the lips are red and swollen. If anything happens, they should see a doctor immediately. Parents are advised to make regular follow-up visits after the baby's deciduous teeth are injured to prevent the occurrence of concussion of deciduous teeth from being discovered in time.

2. Broken deciduous teeth: According to the location and degree of broken teeth, the treatment methods are different. If the crown is fractured, it needs to be removed, and then it is decided whether the root can be preserved according to the situation; If the root is broken, it needs to be pulled out; If the crown is partially broken and the pulp is exposed, endodontic treatment is needed.

3. Embedding of deciduous teeth: Embedding or displacement of deciduous teeth in gums will affect the normal development of permanent tooth embryos and cause abnormal tooth development. The deciduous teeth should be pulled out according to the situation, so as not to damage the permanent tooth germ.

4. Dislocation of deciduous teeth: If the deciduous teeth are partially dislocated, the injured deciduous teeth can be restored to their original positions and then ligated and fixed, which will generally heal well. If the tooth root has absorbed more than 65,438+0/2 near the tooth replacement period, you can consider pulling out the injured deciduous teeth. If all the deciduous teeth are dislocated or extracted, replantation is not needed, but before the permanent teeth erupt, you should go to the hospital to take a dental film to confirm the direction of the permanent teeth eruption. If the permanent teeth are found in the wrong direction, they can be corrected in time.

The harm of primary tooth trauma can not be ignored. Parents must take protective measures for their children to prevent trauma of deciduous teeth.

Nursing care of baby's deciduous teeth begins before teething.

To care for baby's deciduous teeth, we must cultivate good eating habits and oral hygiene habits. First of all, we should cultivate the baby's good eating habits. Don't feed the baby all the time. We should eat regularly. After eating, rinse your mouth with clear water. Don't leave food residue on the tooth surface. Eat less snacks, sweets and drinks. Secondly, clean the baby's gums regularly before the deciduous teeth erupt. After the teeth begin to erupt, the mother can brush her baby's teeth with finger pads or gauze. In order to ensure the effect of brushing her teeth, the baby began to train herself to brush her teeth at the age of 2 and developed a good habit of brushing her teeth in the morning and evening.
