What are the symptoms of children's tooth replacement?

Tooth replacement is a stage that everyone goes through. There are actually many things to pay attention to when replacing teeth, for example, maintaining oral hygiene and cleaning, and not damaging the teeth artificially. Parents should pay attention to the development of their children's new teeth to avoid letting the new teeth grow ugly, which would undermine their children's self-confidence. Having said so much, many people will ask, what are the symptoms of children's tooth replacement?

The key to children's tooth replacement period is to keep their mouths clean. During the period of tooth replacement, babies should pay attention to oral hygiene, brush their teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse their mouths with light salt water before and after meals. Baby teeth begin to loosen, so avoid artificially shaking the deciduous teeth to avoid secondary infection. After the deciduous teeth fall out, educate your baby to avoid licking the gums with his tongue to prevent local gum growth from affecting the eruption of permanent teeth. Eat a light and nutritious diet and provide appropriate calcium supplements. It is recommended to go to a regular dental hospital for a check-up every 3 months to listen to the doctor's advice on children's dental care.

Other symptoms include retained deciduous teeth, for example, deciduous teeth do not fall out when they should. Children should be taken to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Retained teeth that have erupted but have not fallen out should be extracted as soon as possible to avoid affecting the eruption of permanent teeth in the normal position. If the deciduous teeth have not fallen out and the permanent teeth have not erupted after the age of tooth replacement, do not extract them easily. If the permanent teeth are congenitally missing, the deciduous teeth should be kept as much as possible. There is also premature loss of deciduous teeth, which is the loss of deciduous teeth before they should fall out.

This often causes the adjacent teeth on both sides to tilt toward the gap between the missing teeth, making the gap between the missing teeth smaller and causing the permanent teeth to erupt out of place due to insufficient space. A gap maintainer should be worn in the gap between deciduous teeth to prevent the teeth on both sides from tilting until the permanent teeth erupt.

There is one thing parents should pay attention to here. When the teeth are replaced, they will generally fall out naturally. Don't worry. If you see that the child's baby teeth really cannot fall out, you can gently pull them out. Of course, you must not let the child feel pain. In addition, it’s okay if there is bleeding or the child complains of toothache, these are all normal phenomena.
