What is the reason for children's large gaps between teeth?

Many children have very large gaps between their teeth as they grow up. For children with large gaps between their teeth, it is not conducive to the growth of the oral cavity, because large gaps between teeth are prone to bacterial growth and can cause food to get stuck in the teeth when eating. If you often use a toothpick to pick your teeth, the patient's teeth will become larger and larger, which will also cause oral diseases. So what causes large gaps between children's teeth?

In fact, during the human oral growth process, it is not a bad thing for the baby's deciduous teeth to have large gaps between them, because the deciduous teeth are very small, and the permanent teeth after replacement are relatively larger in size than the deciduous teeth. The gaps between the teeth mean that there is a large space for the teeth to grow, which will make it easier for the permanent teeth to grow.

Of course, children without gaps between teeth may be squeezed after their teeth are replaced, causing uneven teeth. However, if the baby's teeth are crooked due to trauma and bad dental habits, it will not help the growth of constant pressure and must be corrected.

Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much if your baby has large gaps between his teeth. You can go to the dental hospital for a check-up.

For babies to have healthy teeth, the key is to maintain oral health. Babies' gums are very tender. Parents can use finger sleeves or gauze dipped in warm water to help babies clean their mouths. They should be cleaned in time after each meal to prevent bacteria from growing in oral residues. Use dental floss in moderation.

At the same time, pay attention to the diet and do not let your baby eat overly spicy or irritating foods, especially foods with high sugar content. It is best to have a balanced nutrition and eat more high-fiber foods, which will not only help the teeth clean themselves and massage the gums, but also increase the disease resistance of the teeth and periodontal tissues. Remember to add foods rich in vitamin A to promote the healthy growth of your baby's teeth.
