Babies will have a period of tooth replacement during their growth and development, ranging from 3 years to 6 years. When changing teeth in a baby, parents should strictly control their baby's sugar intake to prevent tooth decay. So, what should babies pay attention to when changing teeth?
1. During tooth replacement, babies should pay attention to eating more hard foods, such as nuts, and let them chew on their own. Parents should not help their babies by cutting or juicing them. Chewing on their own can help promote the eruption of new teeth and allow baby teeth to fall off on their own.
2. During the baby's tooth replacement period, it is important to constantly monitor the development of their teeth and pay close attention to the growth of their baby teeth. If you find any abnormalities in your baby's baby teeth, go to the dentist in a timely manner to see if there are any problems with your baby's teeth and solve them as soon as possible. During the baby's tooth replacement period, it is important to cultivate good brushing habits. Encourage the baby to brush their teeth in the morning and evening every day. Brushing their teeth before going to bed at night is the most crucial, especially since the baby's upper teeth are difficult to clean and can easily lead to tooth decay.
3. During the baby's tooth replacement, it is important to avoid breathing through the mouth. Regardless of the age of the baby, try to breathe through the nose instead of the mouth. Breathing through the mouth can cause changes in the baby's mouth shape, which can lead to abnormal teeth and even reverse jaw in some babies. Parents should also correct their children's bad habits in daily life, such as biting their tongue and licking their nails.
