Teeth are something that every baby goes through, and baby teeth begin to grow when the baby is a few months old. After the age of six or seven, these baby teeth will gradually fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth. This stage is very important. Mothers should always observe the condition of their babies' teeth. What are the symptoms of changing teeth for babies?
The most obvious symptom of a baby during tooth replacement is loose teeth. As long as the teeth become loose without injury, the mother should pay more attention to the baby's teeth and start tooth replacement. At this time, the mother needs to observe the baby's teeth every day. If they have been loose for a long time but still haven't fallen out, she needs to go to a dental clinic to have them extracted. Because deciduous teeth cannot fall off for a long time, it will affect the eruption of permanent teeth.
In addition to loose teeth, some babies may also experience symptoms of decreased appetite. Because loose teeth during tooth replacement can affect chewing, some babies may experience pain when chewing food due to loose teeth. In order to reduce pain, babies will instinctively reject eating. If the baby does not directly tell the mother that the teeth are loose and finds that the baby's appetite is not good, it is necessary to check the baby's teeth.
During the period of tooth replacement, the mother should also supervise the baby to brush their teeth, which can not only reduce oral diseases but also protect the newly sprouted permanent teeth. During this period, it is also necessary to control the baby's desire to eat sweets and avoid excessive consumption of sweets that can harm teeth.
