Can children's loose teeth be extracted?

Everyone will experience a period of tooth replacement when they grow to a certain age, and the teeth of children during this period often become loose. If the teeth do not fall out in time after they become ill, many parents will be afraid that the loose teeth will affect their children's second tooth replacement, so they think of going to the dental hospital to extract the loose teeth. So when children's teeth become loose, can they really be extracted?

1. Can children's loose teeth be extracted?

1. Blindly extracting teeth can lead to crooked teeth. If you extract teeth too early, and the adult teeth may not be ready to grow out, then other existing teeth may slide into the gaps. This may result in permanent tooth misalignment.

2. When it is time to extract a tooth, if the tooth is hanging or too loose, you may worry that your child will swallow the tooth, but it is generally safe to extract it at this time.

3. The correct way to extract a tooth is to let your child shake the tooth constantly, which may save effort and reduce pain. Because it is painful to have a tooth pulled out, your child may resist having his tooth pulled out by hand. Let your child move the tooth himself. This will reduce the stress and pain your child will experience.

2. Should loose deciduous teeth be extracted?

Blindly extracting teeth will cause the child's teeth to grow unevenly in the future. A loose tooth is not necessarily ready for a new tooth to grow in. If you extract the tooth too early and the adult tooth is not ready to grow in, other existing teeth may slide into the space created by the extraction, eventually affecting the entire arrangement structure and may even cause permanent tooth misalignment in your child. Therefore, parents should pay special attention: do not pull out children's loose teeth easily, but carefully check the causes and extent of their children's loose teeth and choose reasonable ways to deal with them.

3. How long will it take for a child's loose teeth to fall out?

It takes a relatively long time from the time a child's teeth become loose to the time they fall out. If this time is still within a relatively short range, then don't take it too seriously! Generally speaking, babies who change their teeth early will change their deciduous teeth at the age of four, and babies who change their teeth late will change their deciduous teeth at the age of seven. At this time, mothers should pay close attention to their baby's teeth, or when the baby tells you that his teeth are loose, you should also pay more attention to the time when the baby's teeth become loose. If the teeth are loose for too long, it will be detrimental to the growth of permanent teeth later, so you should find a way to extract the teeth that have been loose for too long.
