When is the period for children to change their teeth?

Some children need to pay attention to the tooth replacement period. During this period, a large number of teeth will be replaced. Many young children's unhealthy teeth will fall out to avoid affecting the health of children. Especially some infants have abnormal tooth replacement period. So when is the children's tooth replacement period? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

Retained deciduous teeth

Retained deciduous teeth When deciduous teeth do not fall out when they should, doctors call this phenomenon "retained deciduous teeth". Children should be taken to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Main reasons: ★ Misplacement of permanent tooth germ ★ Local inflammation ★ Missing permanent tooth germ Retained teeth, where permanent teeth have erupted but deciduous teeth have not fallen out, should be extracted as soon as possible to avoid affecting the eruption of permanent teeth in the normal position. [1] If a person has exceeded the age of tooth replacement but their deciduous teeth have not fallen out and their permanent teeth have not erupted, they should not be removed easily. If the permanent teeth are congenitally missing, the deciduous teeth should be retained as much as possible.

Early loss of deciduous teeth

Premature loss of deciduous teeth The loss of deciduous teeth before they should fall out is called premature loss of deciduous teeth. 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.

Difficulty with eruption of permanent teeth

Difficulty in eruption of permanent teeth. The eruption force of permanent teeth is generated during the development of the tooth roots, which causes the permanent teeth to move toward the gums and gradually erupt. This requires a process, which is particularly obvious in the upper front teeth. If permanent teeth have not erupted after the replacement period, it is called delayed eruption of permanent teeth. The main reasons are: ★ Early loss of deciduous teeth ★ Supernumerary teeth ★ Obstruction of odontoma or cyst ★ Abnormal development of permanent teeth ★ Genetic factors

Malocclusion of teeth

During the period of tooth replacement, the teeth are replaced, the jaw develops, and the occlusal relationship is gradually established. Sometimes a temporary malocclusion occurs, but during the tooth development process, it will often adjust itself and return to normal. Some malocclusions cannot be adjusted by yourself, which will affect facial development and should be treated in the hospital.

Double teeth

It is not uncommon for the permanent teeth to come out before the deciduous teeth fall out, causing the teeth to be arranged in two rows, front and back. This is most likely caused by the deciduous teeth roots not being completely resorbed. Oral X-rays can be used to determine the relative position of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth to diagnose whether deciduous teeth will fall out on their own or need to be extracted. It hurts a little when teeth are replaced. The process of teeth loosening and falling out is generally not painful, but as the deciduous teeth begin to fall out, the "six-year molars" will also grow out, which may cause swollen gums and cause children to complain of toothache. If the pain is severe, you need to see a dentist to see if you need anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatments.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the baby does not enter the teething period normally, then it is necessary to pay attention to timely examinations to ensure the baby's physical health, and avoid affecting the baby's teething due to the end of the teething period. This will seriously threaten the baby's physical health. Avoid the above-mentioned problems.
