Why do children lose their teeth but don't grow back?

We must pay attention to our daily diet. The main reason why children's teeth fall out but do not grow back is calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency is a common thing. In this season, you can also give her oral cod liver oil and let her get more sun exposure. This can promote the conversion of VD into calcium and deposit it on the bones, so that her teeth will grow out. So, why do children's teeth fall out but do not grow back?

The sixth-year molars that cannot be ignored

It is well known that people have two sets of teeth in their lifetime, and there is a process of alternation between deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. The eruption of each permanent tooth also has a certain time and order, and the same-name teeth on the left and right sides erupt in pairs. Among them, the first permanent molar erupts at around six years old, so it is commonly called the "six-year molar".

Permanent teeth are the main chewing organs of the human body throughout life, and the sixth-year molars bear the main chewing function among the chewing organs. They are the midpoint of the force of the chewing muscles such as the masseter muscle, temporalis muscle, medial pterygoid muscle and lateral pterygoid muscle, and can withstand 60-70kg of chewing pressure. The sixth-year molars can also stimulate the development of the chewing muscles and jaws, and are the key teeth to maintain the normal arrangement of permanent teeth. This shows that the sixth-year molars are important for the development of the maxillofacial region and the chewing process.

The sixth-year molars are the first permanent teeth to erupt. Their enamel is very thin when they first erupt, their facial pits and fissures are not fully developed, and their calcification is poor. These anatomical and physiological characteristics determine their susceptibility to caries. Generally, caries develops quickly and easily invades the pulp and periapical tissues, causing many carious sixth-year teeth to develop to severe levels in childhood, which brings great difficulties to treatment. Some are almost impossible to retain and must be extracted, resulting in premature loss of sixth-year teeth.

The early loss of sixth-year molars not only directly affects the chewing function, but also affects the development of the jaw, causing the dental arch to become smaller, the dentition to be irregular and the tooth position to be abnormal, and in severe cases, lower facial deformities to occur. It can be seen that the health of the sixth-year molars should not be ignored and should be taken seriously by every parent.

Since the eruption time of the sixth-anniversary teeth is when children's deciduous teeth and permanent teeth are changing, it is very important to accurately identify whether they are deciduous teeth or permanent teeth, so as to treat the caries of the sixth-anniversary teeth in time and avoid extracting the wrong teeth, which will cause lifelong regrets.

The sixth-year molars are easily confused with the adjacent second deciduous molars, which may delay treatment. The difference between the sixth-year molars and the second deciduous molars is mainly based on the order of tooth arrangement, tooth color, and appearance. Because the deciduous teeth erupt earlier, the result of wear makes the jaw face become flat and the tooth tips become blunt. However, the sixth-year molars do not erupt for a long time and therefore do not wear much.

Although some parents are very concerned about their children's dental health, due to lack of common sense about dental care, they often delay their children's treatment and cause lifelong damage to their children. Therefore, as parents, they should learn more about this aspect, or go to the hospital for examination according to the age of the children, and do pit and fissure sealing in time after the eruption of the sixth-year molars, and make sure to detect and treat caries early to prevent problems before they occur.

Through the above introduction to why children’s teeth fall out but do not grow back, everyone should have a better understanding now! We must pay attention to dietary issues in our daily lives. Children's tooth loss and failure to grow back is one of the most troubling topics for mothers. I hope the above story can be of good help to the majority of mothers.
