What to do if your child has buck teeth

Buck teeth often make people around you laugh at them, and your self-confidence will be severely hit. Especially in the world of children, if a child has buck teeth, other children will inevitably give him a nickname. The already weak heart will suffer a more serious blow, and he will not dare to see people in public. If parents don’t want this to happen, now listen to the editor’s advice on how to prevent children from buck teeth.

1. Avoid using pacifiers for your baby. When using a bottle, parents should hold the bottle perpendicular to the face, try not to let the child hold it by themselves, and avoid lying flat to drink milk. Bottle use should be stopped between 1.5 and 2 years old.

2. Help children get rid of bad habits. For example, do not suck the soft tissues of the lips, tongue, and cheeks; do not bite foreign objects such as coins and fingers; do not use your teeth as tools to crack nut shells, crab legs, etc. For children who are used to breathing through their mouths, their upper respiratory tract should be checked to see if it is unobstructed, and they should receive timely treatment for conditions such as enlarged tonsils and adenoids.

3. Give your children more fiber foods to enhance their chewing function. Regular consumption of high-fiber, nutritious foods such as vegetables and fresh fruits can help teeth clean themselves, reduce the risk of caries, promote the growth and development of the oral and maxillofacial area, and make the teeth align.

4. Don’t miss the time for orthodontic treatment. The time for orthodontic treatment of crossbite of deciduous front teeth (underbite) is 3-4 years old. If there is a bite deformity such as uneven teeth, it should be corrected when the baby is around 12 years old and the deciduous teeth are completely replaced by permanent teeth.

The above are 4 ways to prevent children from buck teeth. I hope that parents will pay attention to them. If you have better ways to prevent buck teeth, you can also tell me. I am happy to hear your opinions. In addition, if the child's teeth are already bucktoothed, the teeth can be restored to normal through methods such as orthodontic treatment, so there is no need to worry.
