What should I do if my child's new teeth grow out and their baby teeth don't fall out

  During early childhood, when a child is growing teeth, it is important to observe the changes in their teeth. If any abnormalities occur, it is important to take the child to the dentist for treatment. Many parents find that their child's baby teeth do not fall out and new teeth grow out. So what should they do if their child's baby teeth grow out and do not fall out?

  

What should I do if my child's new teeth grow out and their baby teeth don't fall out1

  If a child has baby teeth that have not fallen out and new teeth have grown in their original position during the tooth replacement stage, they must not be left behind and should be removed as soon as possible. Make room for permanent teeth to grow out, so as to avoid misalignment of permanent teeth, which can lead to uneven teeth and tooth pain.

  If the baby teeth have not fallen out and are beyond the age for tooth replacement, and the permanent teeth have not yet grown, do not rush to remove the baby teeth. If the baby teeth are defective, try to keep them and not remove them.

  Precautions for Children's Teeth Growth

  1. Clean and hygienic, brush your teeth carefully

  During the stage of tooth replacement, if a child's permanent teeth have just grown a little, it is easy for food residue to accumulate on the permanent teeth. Moreover, many children do not like to brush their teeth, which can easily lead to dental caries. Once it occurs, early treatment is necessary, so it is important to educate children on the correct way to brush their teeth.

  2. Correcting children's bad habits

  When a child changes teeth, if the baby teeth become loose, do not let the child lick them. It is a bad habit. Correcting a child's bad habit can reduce the misalignment or unevenness of teeth after they grow up.
