How to extract a child's tooth

After birth, children begin to develop gradually in all aspects as they grow older, and their baby teeth will slowly grow in their mouths. When they reach a certain age, the baby teeth begin to loosen and will be replaced by new teeth. When children's baby teeth begin to shake, it is a more difficult period and requires correct tooth extraction. You can cover the baby teeth with gauze and slowly pull them out.

1. How to extract children's loose teeth

If you try to extract a loose baby tooth on your child's own, it can be a difficult time because the tooth becomes unusually lubricated. In order to obtain 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.

Find a good time to wrap the deciduous tooth with gauze, and then pull it out quickly and forcefully.

2. The best time for children to have their teeth extracted

The first one is the best time to extract teeth for children. During the period of tooth replacement, the permanent teeth often have erupted, but the deciduous teeth have not fallen out yet. At this time, it is necessary to extract the remaining deciduous teeth in time. Tooth extraction for children is a very painful thing. Not only children are afraid, but adults should also pay special attention.

Another thing is that before having a tooth extracted, it is best to let the child eat less. Since they cannot eat immediately after a tooth extraction, let the child eat something before the extraction to avoid the situation of being hungry during the extraction, which may lead to hypoglycemia shock. Parents must pay special attention to this.

In addition, for children who have their teeth extracted with anesthesia, there will still be local numbness due to the effect of the anesthetic within one hour after the tooth is extracted. The children will involuntarily bite their numb lip mucosa or cheek mucosa, causing soft tissue bites. Parents should pay close attention to this phenomenon to avoid unnecessary harm.

Tooth extraction methods for children

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

The best time to lose baby teeth is when the roots of the baby teeth begin to loosen to make room for the 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.

4. Who extracts the child’s teeth?

When it is time for the baby teeth to fall out, you should find a good time to wrap the baby teeth with gauze, and then pull them out quickly and forcefully. However, it is best to let the child pull it out himself, because the child is the only one who knows how tightly the connection between the deciduous tooth and its root is. But if your child is afraid to have his or her baby teeth removed, you will have to do it for them.
