What to do if your child's new teeth become loose

Children's growth is the most important thing for every parent. As babies grow, they go through the stages of teething, tooth replacement, and then tooth eruption. Teeth are very important to people. I believe every child’s experience of growing and replacing teeth is unforgettable. So, what should we do if children’s new teeth become loose? The loosening of children's new teeth may be caused by impact or inadequate dental hygiene. What should we do? Next I will answer your questions.

Treatments for loose teeth:

1. Local treatment: In local treatment, the main focus is to control inflammation and infection, learn the correct way to brush your teeth, and maintain oral hygiene. Patients with tartar should go to the hospital for treatment regularly to remove the tartar. Those with periodontal pockets, frequent periodontal swelling, and pus discharge require surgical treatment to remove the granulation tissue and subgingival calculus in the periodontal pockets, regenerate and restore the periodontal supporting tissue. Those with loose teeth can use wire ligation or splint fixation to make the loose teeth support and rely on each other, achieve relative stability, and be able to withstand a certain amount of force.

2. Tooth fixation: This method is to use a dental fixator to fix the loose teeth between the good teeth. This method is actually not advisable because the good teeth will also become loose. It can only achieve simple fixation and has no therapeutic effect.

3. Tooth extraction therapy: It is to extract the loose teeth and then replace them with dentures. This method should be the one that most people have to accept. Extracting one less tooth is a concern for every elderly person. Pulling out teeth and replacing them with dentures not only fails to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, it is also completely irrelevant and will only remove the root cause. After wearing dentures, they still rely on good teeth and gums for support, so it will also put a certain burden on the good teeth. If it is not done well, it will cause great irritation to the gums.

After reading the above content, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of what to do if a child’s new teeth become loose. A variety of treatments can address the problem of loose new teeth. In addition, children should develop a good habit of brushing their teeth in daily life, eat less candy, and eat more vegetables and fruits, so as to prevent new teeth from loosening. If your teeth are healthy, everything you eat will taste delicious.
