What to do if a teenager's teeth become loose

Many children like to eat sweets or other foods that are not good for their teeth, but after eating these foods, they do not pay attention to personal hygiene and do not clean their teeth well. They should develop the habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening to avoid bacteria invading the gums and causing loosening. What should mothers do if teenagers have loose teeth?

The treatment of this disease is basically the same as that of adult periodontitis. Mainly include:

1. Basic treatment

Supragingival scaling, root planing, occlusal adjustment and other methods are used to remove local factors.

2. Drug treatment

Systemic antibiotics can be used as an adjunctive treatment for this disease. Tetracycline is the preferred drug, but it is rarely used due to its significant side effects. The synthetic long-acting tetracyclines "minocycline" and "doxycycline" currently commonly used abroad have become the main trend in the drug treatment of periodontal disease, especially juvenile periodontitis. In addition to its common broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, the drug also has the effects of preventing collagen destruction, inhibiting bone resorption, and promoting cell attachment and cloning, which is beneficial to the regeneration of periodontal tissue. In addition, drugs such as metronidazole and spiramycin can also be used at the same time.

If someone is found to have abnormal immune function, immunomodulators may be given as appropriate, and Chinese medicine differentiation and treatment may be combined to enhance the body's resistance to disease.

3. Periodontal surgery, loose tooth fixation, and combined endodontic and periodontal therapy are the same as those for the treatment of adult periodontitis.

4. Maintenance Treatment

Since the disease is prone to relapse after treatment and the patients are relatively young, follow-up examinations and treatments should be strengthened during the maintenance period, generally once every 2 to 3 months, for at least 2 to 3 years. Annual follow-up examinations are still required thereafter to detect lesions in time and treat them.

1. Supplement a rich high-protein diet. It can enhance the body's resistance and anti-inflammatory capabilities, and provide the raw materials necessary for repairing damaged tissues. Eat more foods rich in protein, such as soy products, eggs, milk, lean meat, fish and shrimp, etc.

2. Provide multiple vitamins. Especially B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and folic acid. B vitamins aid digestion and protect oral tissues; vitamin C can regulate the nutrition of periodontal tissues, promote the recovery of bleeding gums, and facilitate the recovery of periodontitis.

3. Pay attention to the intake of minerals. Especially the intake and proportion of calcium, phosphorus and zinc. Zinc can resist infection and enhance healing.

4. Eat less greasy and irritating food. Eat less fried and greasy foods, as well as irritating foods such as fermented food, seafood, garlic, leeks, tobacco and alcohol, and eat less sugar and refined sugar, because sugar causes plaque formation and prevents white blood cells from killing bacteria.

5. Both excessive supply and deficiency can cause disorders in the body's nutritional metabolism. The distribution ratio between various nutrients should be appropriate. The high-quality protein in food should be slightly more than that of normal people, and an appropriate amount of fluoride should be consumed. The intake of fatty foods should not be too much.

From the article we have learned what to do if a teenager has loose teeth. At this time, he should not eat irritating foods or fried foods. Since he is still a teenager, he should repair them as soon as possible to avoid causing crooked teeth, which will affect the appearance and bite problems.
