How to remove baby teeth?

When children reach a certain age, their deciduous teeth will fall out and new teeth will grow. The new teeth that grow out later are the teeth that accompany them throughout their lives. This age is probably between 6 and 12 years old. The teeth that grow out are called permanent teeth. However, deciduous teeth also have their own functions. Some children have not lost their deciduous teeth when they reach the tooth replacement period? Parents will help them pull them out. Is this good?

The chewing force of deciduous teeth is a functional stimulation to the growth of the mandible and the eruption of permanent teeth. The early loss of deciduous teeth, especially the early loss of deciduous molars, will reduce the chewing function of the deciduous teeth. If the jaw bone does not receive sufficient physiological stimulation of chewing force for a long period of time, it will develop insufficiently and cause malocclusion in the future.

When deciduous teeth are lost prematurely and the permanent teeth have not yet erupted, the gap between the missing teeth is partially or completely occupied by the displacement of the adjacent teeth, causing the permanent teeth to be misplaced or impacted when they erupt, resulting in crowded and deformed permanent dentition.

According to statistics, if the deciduous teeth are lost prematurely and the permanent teeth erupt within 6 months, misalignment rarely occurs. However, if the deciduous teeth are lost more than 2 years ago, misalignment will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the health care of deciduous teeth and the treatment of diseases to maintain the integrity of the deciduous dentition. If the deciduous teeth are lost due to caries, trauma or other reasons, and the permanent tooth germs develop normally but have not yet reached the eruption stage, a deciduous tooth space maintainer should be worn to maintain the space between the missing teeth to prevent the movement of the adjacent teeth and create conditions for the eruption of the permanent teeth below.

The 20 deciduous teeth of children will fall out gradually between the ages of 6 and 12 and be replaced by newly erupted permanent teeth. However, deciduous teeth have their own functions. If they do not fall out during the tooth replacement period and affect the normal eruption of permanent teeth, they should be extracted regardless of whether they are loose or not.

After a child's baby teeth are extracted, you should pay attention to his daily condition in time. Do not let him always lick the place where the new teeth are replaced with his tongue, otherwise the roots of the new teeth will grow crooked after they grow out. In addition, you must pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth as much as possible after meals, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the mouth.
