Some children may develop particularly bad habits at a certain stage of growth, such as biting their nails, lips, etc. As the saying goes, illness enters through the mouth. These habits are very harmful to children's physical health, so it is not right to educate babies in daily life. So what are the hazards of children frequently biting their nails?
People have the most bacteria on their hands because they have to use their hands to do everything in life, but they cannot wash their hands every time they do something, which leads to a large amount of bacteria on their hands. Some children often bite their nails, and bacteria can enter the mouth through this method, which may lead to oral infections. In severe cases, it may affect the respiratory tract and cause roundworm disease.
Frequent nail biting can be harmful to a child's teeth. Long term nail biting can cause uneven teeth, leading to dental deformities and affecting the child's appearance. Moreover, biting the nails may also lead to nail deformities, and in severe cases, bleeding may occur. As the child grows up, the nails may stop growing because they have already damaged the cells inside the nails, which may lead to periodontitis.
To break the habit of biting nails, the first thing to do is to find out why the child is biting their nails. In daily life, it is important to regularly cut the nails for your child. Without nails, they will not bite, and it is important to take the child to wash their hands frequently. Especially before eating, it is important to make children aware of the harm of unhygienic fingernails. This way, they will naturally be unwilling to bite their nails due to unhygienic conditions. You can put colors or patterns on your baby's fingernails, which will make them reluctant to bite them.
