When is the best time to extract teeth for children?

As children grow, they will inevitably go through the stage of the appearance and shedding of deciduous teeth. In order to alleviate the pain of children's tooth replacement, many parents want to relieve it by tooth extraction. Tooth extraction requires timing, and parents are more concerned about the best time for tooth extraction. So, when is the best time to extract teeth for children? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Wait until the baby teeth are ripe and fall off

??The best time for deciduous teeth to fall out is when the roots of the deciduous teeth begin to loosen to make room for adult teeth. It takes 2 to 3 months for a deciduous tooth to become loose and fall out completely. If you do not want to help your child to extract the baby tooth and wait for it to fall out naturally, or if after the tooth is extracted, the child's adult tooth will take longer than the normal time to erupt. However, when the deciduous tooth reaches the time of natural shedding, that is, when it naturally twists and turns at the root of the tooth, it is almost ripe and ready to fall out.

2. Loose teeth

To ensure that baby teeth fall out naturally, your child can help loosen the teeth themselves. While your children are watching TV or reading a storybook, let them use their tongue or fingers to twist any loose baby teeth. You can also give your child some harder-to-chew foods, such as apples or corn on the cob, to loosen the baby teeth.

3. Rub back and forth to remove the tooth

If you try to extract your child's loose baby teeth yourself, you may have a difficult time because the teeth become unusually lubricated. In order to achieve this friction, you need to grasp the scale. You can use gauze to cover the deciduous teeth. Generally, you need to rub the gauze several times to clean the saliva on the deciduous teeth.

The above is an introduction to the best time to extract teeth for children. I hope it will be helpful to parents. It is a natural phenomenon for children to change their teeth. It is best for parents to let their children's teeth fall out naturally and not use external force to help their children change their teeth. You can also take these methods. If necessary, you can go to the dentistry and have the doctor help your child extract the teeth.
