What should I do if my milk teeth haven’t fallen out?

When children reach the age of five or six, they will gradually begin to change their teeth. Parents should pay more attention when their children are changing their teeth. When the teeth are loose, they should be pulled out in time. Many parents fail to pull out their children's teeth in time, which causes their children's teeth to grow crooked. Some children's milk teeth are slow to fall out, and teeth may have already grown inside. How can this be solved?

What should I do if my milk teeth haven’t fallen out?

As children grow older, they must go through the process of tooth replacement. At this time, parents must help their children more to avoid unnecessary trouble. In fact, tooth replacement is the process of deciduous teeth falling out and permanent teeth growing out. It usually starts when the child is six or seven years old and ends at around twelve years old. There is a certain time and order for the shedding of deciduous teeth. Generally, permanent teeth grow out after the deciduous teeth fall out. However, some children's deciduous teeth have not fallen out, and permanent teeth grow inside the deciduous teeth. What should we do in this situation?

Steps/Methods:

1. First of all, parents should take their children to the hospital to remove the deciduous teeth as soon as possible to make room for the permanent teeth to grow out, so as not to affect the normal position of the permanent teeth. If you are over the age of tooth replacement and your deciduous teeth have not fallen out and your permanent teeth have not come out, do not pull them out easily.

2. Another reason is that when the permanent teeth are replaced, they have just grown out, especially the sixth-year molars that are key to occlusion. They are relatively large in size and easily contain a lot of food residues. In addition, most children do not like to brush their teeth, so caries often occur. Once caries occur, they should be treated early.

3. Also, pay attention to correcting children's bad habits. When the deciduous teeth are loose and about to fall out, children will get used to licking the loose teeth with their tongues. This is a bad habit that will affect the normal eruption of permanent teeth. It should be corrected in time to prevent malocclusion.

Note:

Finally, it is important to give your child more hard food to chew, such as jellyfish and peanuts. This will be beneficial for his tooth replacement and help maintain a good stimulation to the deciduous teeth, thereby promoting the timely shedding of deciduous teeth.
