What to do if your child loses a tooth and bleeds

It is a common phenomenon for children to start changing their teeth around the age of six. However, this common phenomenon is also prone to some problems. Children are particularly prone to bleeding when their teeth fall out. Many parents are particularly worried that excessive bleeding will affect their children's health. At the same time, improper handling and daily diet can easily cause oral inflammation. So we must master the method. Let's learn what to do if children lose their teeth and bleed.

Tooth replacement is the process of deciduous teeth falling out and permanent teeth growing in. During the growth and development process, there is a permanent tooth germ under the root of each deciduous tooth, which gradually develops and grows. During the eruption of the permanent tooth, on the one hand, it compresses the alveolar bone between the deciduous tooth root and the permanent tooth germ, and through the action of osteoclasts, the bone is absorbed and thinned until it is completely absorbed; on the other hand, it directly compresses the deciduous tooth root, causing the deciduous tooth root to gradually absorb, become shorter and shorter, until it disappears completely. Then the deciduous teeth begin to fall out and the permanent teeth gradually grow in.

What to do if your child loses a tooth and bleeds

First point: clean the wound and prevent infection

Method: Rinse the wound and surrounding area with clean water. After the bleeding stops, apply anti-inflammatory and disinfectant lotion to the wound and surrounding area. For severe cases, anti-inflammatory injections should be given. Go to the hospital and apply prescription lotion according to the doctor's instructions.

Second point: stop bleeding

This must be done as soon as possible. If the bleeding is severe, you can first tie the artery proximal to the wound with a rubber band, nylon cloth, etc. (for example, if the calf is bleeding, you can tie the thigh; if the finger is bleeding, you can tie the upper part of the elbow, but it is difficult to find a place if the face is bleeding). After temporarily stopping the bleeding, send to the hospital for doctor treatment.

If the condition is not serious, you can apply over-the-counter hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Yunnan Baiyao.

Parents are always particularly worried once a child has a problem. The above is an introduction to what to do if a child loses a tooth and bleeds. After understanding the symptoms of bleeding, you must pay attention to oral hygiene. You can take some anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time to avoid oral inflammation. Once there is excessive oral bleeding, go to the hospital for treatment and management in time.
