What are the misunderstandings about caring for children’s fallen teeth?

Children's teeth are a very important tissue. The quality of children's teeth is closely related to care. If they are not well cared for, it is more likely to cause some adverse diseases and oral diseases. Children's tooth chipping is the most common. Many parents don’t know how to solve it better. Let me tell you some misunderstandings about children’s tooth chipping.

When caring for your teeth, you must avoid the following misunderstandings about caring for your teeth.

One of the misconceptions: As long as you keep brushing your teeth, there is no need to wash your teeth.

Brushing your teeth cannot completely replace teeth washing. Food and drink can leave traces on the tooth surface, which can form dental plaque through the action of bacteria. It is difficult to remove them simply by brushing your teeth every morning and evening.

Misconception 2: If you lose one or two teeth, there is no need to rush to replace them. Wait until all the teeth are lost before replacing them with full dentures.

Some people believe that it is normal to have a few missing teeth as you age. If you are missing a tooth but don’t want to get dentures because you’re afraid of the hassle and expense, just leave it blank. This will cause a lot of harm. It will significantly reduce chewing ability, affect digestion and nutrient absorption, and accelerate the loosening and falling of adjacent teeth. Dentures can help you eliminate defects, restore tooth function, and stabilize adjacent teeth.

Misconception 3: The yellow and black teeth deposited by smoking and drinking tea in the elderly cannot be whitened.

Currently, dental beauty has reached a considerable level. Smoking, drinking tea, coffee, etc. form stains that discolor the tooth surface and are easy to remove. Even tooth discoloration such as tetracycline teeth can be changed. At the same time, teeth whitening is not only for beauty, but also an important measure for dental care and prevention of dental diseases.

When caring for your teeth, you must avoid the misunderstandings introduced above, so that your teeth can remain healthy for a longer time.

I believe that everyone has not thought of the above-mentioned misunderstandings in dental care. In fact, teeth are important parts and are also more prone to diseases, so everyone must pay attention to them. As long as children pay attention to oral hygiene and do not eat hard things, they can generally prevent tooth chipping.
