What to do if your child's front teeth feel loose

During the secondary tooth eruption period, all teeth in the child's mouth will experience shedding and regrowth. Before a tooth falls out completely, it will take a period of time, during which time the tooth will slowly loosen and eventually fall out. During this process, children will feel the most obvious tooth loss when their front teeth fall out. Generally, when the front teeth feel loose, children will often use their tongues to push the front teeth, causing them to loosen and fall out faster. During this process, the teeth and gums generally will not feel too much pain.

When deciduous teeth are lost, the roots are absorbed first. After the rootless deciduous tooth crown falls off, the permanent tooth crown will erupt from under the gums in the original tooth socket. For newly erupted teeth, the dentin has not yet fully formed and the root continues to develop. It takes about 11/2 to 3 years for the root apex to be fully formed. During the period of teething or tooth replacement, children must be well protected, avoid all trauma, and pay attention to nutrition, especially mineral salts, calcium, phosphorus, or vitamins D, A1, C, etc., to promote the formation and calcification of tooth hard tissue.

The average five-year-old child has 19.4 deciduous teeth, while a full set of deciduous teeth should have 20.

Generally speaking, some children are afraid of having their teeth pulled out, so their parents let them eat some harder food to cause their teeth to fall out. This is also a good way. But in fact, the process of tooth extraction is not uncomfortable. As long as the tooth is about to fall out, parents can help their children pull out the tooth. The process will not be too painful. There will be bleeding after the tooth extraction. At this time, just rinse your mouth with clean water. After a period of time, new teeth will grow.
