My child's front teeth are slightly loose. What's going on?

Everyone experiences secondary tooth extractions during childhood. I believe many friends are aware of this. We all know that before tooth extraction, the teeth are in a state where they are very easy to fall out. Because if the tooth is in a slightly loose state, forcibly extracting it at this time will generally cause heavy bleeding of the gums and be quite painful. The same applies to slightly loose front teeth. If the front teeth are slightly loose, it means that the teeth are beginning to fall out, and after a period of time, the front teeth will fall out automatically.

The second tooth that grows is called adult tooth, or permanent tooth. The permanent tooth germs begin to develop and calcify after birth and start to erupt at the age of 6-7. There are 32 permanent teeth in total, and they are usually fully erupted by the age of 20. When the permanent teeth erupt, the deciduous teeth fall out one after another, and the time sequence is as follows:

At the age of 6, the two lower incisors come out, and at the same time, the first large molars, commonly known as molars, come out behind the second deciduous molars, one on the upper and lower left and right; the two lower deciduous incisors fall off.

At the age of 7, the two upper front teeth came out and the two deciduous front teeth fell out.

At the age of 8, the upper and lower incisors come out, and the upper and lower deciduous incisors fall out.

At the age of 9-10 years, the lower canines and the first bicuspids (one on each side, upper and lower) break out, and the lower deciduous canines and the first deciduous molars (one on each side, upper and lower) fall off.

At the age of 10 to 11 years, the upper canines emerge and the upper deciduous canines fall out (one on each side).

At the age of 11 to 12, the upper and lower second canines come out (one on each side), and the upper and lower third deciduous molars fall off (one on each side).

When children are changing their teeth, if the deciduous teeth do not fall out and the permanent teeth erupt on the side of the deciduous gums, which is the so-called double teeth, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to extract the deciduous teeth, and the permanent teeth can quickly return to their original positions. In addition, if the deciduous teeth fall out early and the permanent teeth do not erupt for a long time, children will be accustomed to chewing food with their gums, and the gums will become keratinized and thickened, making it difficult for the permanent teeth to erupt. If the permanent teeth are close to the gums and the gums become dark and white, and the hard cutting edge of the teeth is touched under the gums during palpation, the gums at the cutting edge can be cut off to expose the cutting edge of the teeth, which will accelerate the eruption of the teeth. In addition, children should eat more hard and crisp foods during the period of tooth replacement, such as steamed bread, dry bread, dry corn bread, vegetables, beans, etc., to stimulate the development of upper and lower jaws and promote the early eruption of permanent teeth.

When children are teething, their teeth become slightly loose and they often use their tongues to fiddle with them. In fact, this helps loosen the teeth and make them easier to fall out. When children are in the teething period, parents should pay attention to the growth of their children's teeth and not let the teeth grow randomly, otherwise it may lead to unsightly teeth in the future. However, if the teeth are not overall beautiful, you can take your child to a dental hospital for correction of teeth.
