Children have a certain pattern when changing their teeth. Only by doing more understanding can they do all necessary care during this period. When children change their teeth, there is also a sequence, and parents do not need to be too anxious. So, how many teeth should children change?
All the baby teeth that children grow need to be replaced. Children start growing baby teeth at around 6 months old. First, two new teeth grow in the front door of the lower jaw. By around 2 and a half years old, all 20 teeth have grown, usually 10 on top and 10 below. They start changing teeth at the age of 6 or 7 and grow in order. By the age of 12 or 13, almost all of them have been replaced by permanent teeth.
When changing teeth, it is often found that new teeth have grown out but the baby teeth have not yet fallen out. If the baby teeth have not fallen out, it is easy to affect the shape of the new teeth. When permanent teeth are growing, it is not advisable to frequently lick them with the tongue, otherwise it is easy for them to become crooked, leading to irregular teeth.
Children often experience misaligned teeth during tooth replacement, which can also affect their chewing function in the future. It is important to pay attention to oral hygiene and prevent tooth decay during tooth replacement. If tooth decay is found, it must be repaired and treated promptly, otherwise it will become more severe and lead to the entire tooth being damaged.
