At a certain stage, babies will start changing teeth, from baby teeth to permanent teeth. This is a crucial period that determines whether a baby can have beautiful and attractive teeth in the future. However, some babies have rotten baby teeth due to their craving for candy. So, what should I do when my baby teeth are rotten and I need to change them? Here are some small suggestions, let's see if they can help you.
What should I do if my baby teeth are rotten and need to be replaced
1. Baby teeth are rotten, and new teeth will grow sooner or later. Don't see a doctor for now.
If the primary teeth are decayed, it can lead to pulpitis or periapical periodontitis, infecting the permanent tooth germ and causing incomplete development of permanent tooth enamel, which can affect the germination of the baby's permanent teeth. Moreover, the cavities caused by dental caries in baby teeth can cause pain during feeding, affecting their ability to eat and ultimately impacting their development. Due to pain, babies will become accustomed to chewing with the other side of their teeth, which can cause asymmetrical development of their jawbones.
2. Baby teeth 'rotten teeth', remove them, wait for permanent teeth to grow out.
If the baby teeth fall out too early and the permanent teeth growing next to them take up their position, the permanent teeth that should have grown under the baby teeth will become "homeless" and struggle, causing the teeth to be misaligned and uneven, affecting their appearance. Therefore, if deciduous teeth are decayed, it is important to try to preserve them instead of immediately removing them.
3. The blackening of front teeth is due to pigment deposition.
Black front teeth are often caused by dental caries. Sometimes, dental caries on the tongue or adjacent surfaces cannot be seen from the outside. Therefore, if you find that your baby's teeth have turned black, you should be alert to the possibility of "tooth decay" and consult a doctor in a timely manner.
What should be paid attention to when changing teeth
1. Always pay attention to the development of teeth
It is important to regularly monitor the growth of children's baby teeth and permanent teeth, and take them to the dentist regularly to detect and solve problems at any time.
2. Develop a good habit of brushing teeth
Children should be encouraged to brush their teeth every day, and it is best to have adults help them brush their teeth before going to bed at night, especially for the upper teeth which are difficult to clean and can easily lead to dental caries. Six year old molars are also not easy to brush because they grow in the innermost part of the mouth. Children's specific toothpaste and toothbrush should be used, and the toothbrush head should be as small as possible, otherwise children may vomit when extended to the innermost part. In addition to brushing their teeth, it is best for children to rinse their mouth after each meal to maintain oral hygiene.
During the baby's tooth replacement period, parents must be more careful not to let the baby eat too much sweet food, and also pay attention to the baby's tooth development. If you notice a phenomenon similar to crooked or missing teeth, remember to take your baby to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, so as to ensure that your baby's teeth will look beautiful and elegant in the future, and leave no regrets for their beauty.
