What's going on with a six-year-old child changing teeth?

A six-year-old child is old enough to go to school, so we should always pay attention to him. Now is the time when children begin to change their teeth. We should always pay attention to our children, especially when it comes to tooth replacement. Because tooth replacement is very important for children, we should pay more attention to children's oral safety when their teeth are changing.

1. Common oral problems in children

Tooth decay

The incidence of tooth decay among children is very high, but many young mothers believe that the baby's deciduous teeth will be replaced sooner or later, so there is no need to worry too much even if the baby suffers from tooth decay. Parents all understand the importance of permanent teeth, but their understanding of deciduous teeth is relatively scarce. Early decay or loss of deciduous teeth will directly lead to the disordered arrangement of newly grown teeth after tooth replacement, and may even affect the development of facial shape and hinder appearance. Furthermore, tooth replacement is a long process, starting at the age of six and ending at the age of twelve. Oral pain and inflammation caused by tooth decay in children will bring greater pain to children. If these are not taken seriously, they will have serious consequences for children who are in the growth and development stage.

First of all, don’t be lazy about brushing your teeth. Brushing teeth is the first step in baby's oral hygiene, and parents need to pay attention to it. Babies are young and cannot brush their teeth independently. Due to lack of patience and other reasons, the brushing time is greatly reduced. If parents do not supervise and guide them, the consequences will be even worse.

Secondly, dental care requires persistence. If babies do not brush their teeth thoroughly, their oral cavity needs secondary protection. There are many kinds of children's dental care products on the market today, and those that can prevent tooth decay often contain too high a fluoride content, leaving parents in a dilemma. If a baby swallows it while brushing his teeth, it can easily lead to fluoride poisoning in the long run.

When children are changing their teeth, there must be someone around. Because our children will lick their teeth randomly, which will cause problems with the gums, causing our next tooth to grow crooked or in the wrong place. We must always pay attention to children's tooth replacement.
