Precautions for children after extraction of deciduous teeth

Extracting baby teeth is something that many children have to face, especially for children with severe tooth decay. The teeth must be extracted in time, because tooth decay will not only have a certain impact on the child's appearance, but will also directly affect the baby's oral health and cause various oral diseases in the child. There are also many things to pay attention to after extracting deciduous teeth. The following will introduce the precautions after tooth extraction!

1. Everyone has experienced tooth replacement when they were a child. It is a natural law for deciduous teeth to fall out and permanent teeth to grow out. When the baby teeth are replaced, they gradually become loose. At this time, a child, out of curiosity, may unconsciously push them with his tongue or even pull out the baby teeth by himself. After the deciduous teeth are extracted or fall off on their own, new permanent teeth will grow out on their own. After the deciduous teeth are extracted, you should observe regularly to see whether permanent teeth have grown out. If you do not find permanent teeth growing out, you should go to the hospital for treatment. During treatment, a small strip of gum is often removed to expose the edge of the crown and create conditions for the eruption of permanent teeth.

2. After the deciduous teeth are extracted, parents should teach their children not to lick the newly grown permanent teeth with their tongues. If they develop the habit of licking with their tongues, it will easily cause the newly grown teeth to turn outward, making the upper and lower teeth uneven.

3. After the deciduous teeth are extracted, you should strengthen your body nutrition and eat more foods containing calcium and vitamins, such as more vegetables, milk, fruits and other foods. These foods are rich in calcium and other nutrients, which are beneficial to the growth of permanent teeth.

4. Teach your children to keep their oral cavity clean and hygienic. Parents should teach their children to brush their teeth in the morning and evening, and let them develop the habit of rinsing their mouths after meals or snacks. Parents should prepare a soft-bristled toothbrush specially designed for children. Do not let your child take tetracycline drugs during the period of permanent tooth growth, because this drug can easily cause the newly grown permanent teeth to turn yellow.

5. Prevent the occurrence of double teeth. If the deciduous teeth have not fallen out completely and the permanent teeth are beginning to come out, the newly grown permanent teeth will not be in the normal position or will form double teeth, which will affect the child's jaw development. So if this happens, you should go to the hospital for correction as soon as possible.
