Can children's loose teeth be extracted?

If a child's teeth are loose during the period of tooth replacement, they should not be pulled out. This is because they need to wait for the teeth to fall out on their own. Pulling them out forcibly will only prevent the teeth from growing on their own and may even cause many complications. In addition, if the teeth are loose due to tooth decay, it depends on whether it will affect the nerves of the tooth roots. Generally, it is not recommended to extract teeth if the child is too young.

Methods/Steps

If a tooth is slightly loose and no treatment is given, then the same situation applies if the baby teeth are loose due to decay. Unless the toothache is very severe, you should go to the hospital. Generally, if there is no redness or swelling, you can just handle it yourself.

Then the treatment method can be short-term pain rather than long-term pain. Parents can pull it out with pliers. Of course, you can also pull it out with your hands, but this requires a little more strength.

You can also use a rope to hang it and then pull it out so that you can use it as a lever. My grandmother helped me pull it out when I was a child. It doesn't hurt much. Just rinse it with cold water and trace the mouth.

Then there is a more conservative and more natural way, which is to shake the loose tooth with your hands, rotating it in circles appropriately. After rotating it 360 degrees, it will fall out, just like it fell out naturally. If you feel uncomfortable during this period, you can rub your mouth more.

Precautions

Suggestions for redness, swelling and ulcers: Seek medical treatment for anti-inflammatory

Precautions for children's tooth replacement

1. Always pay attention to the development of teeth

Always pay attention to the growth of children's deciduous teeth and permanent teeth, and take children to see a dentist regularly so that problems can be discovered at any time and resolved early.

2. Develop a good habit of brushing your teeth

Children should be urged to brush their teeth every day. It is best for adults to help brush their teeth before going to bed at night, especially the upper teeth which are more difficult to clean and are most likely to cause tooth decay. The six-year molars are also not easy to brush because they are located at the innermost part of the mouth. You should use toothpaste and toothbrushes specially designed for children. The toothbrush head should be as small as possible, otherwise the child will easily vomit when the toothbrush reaches the innermost part. In addition to brushing teeth, it is best for children to rinse their mouths after each meal to maintain oral hygiene.

3. Eating hard food

During the period of children's tooth replacement, they should eat more foods that are high in fiber and have a certain degree of hardness, such as fruits, carrots, beans, corn, etc., to maintain a good stimulation to the deciduous teeth and promote the shedding of deciduous teeth on time. On the other hand, it also helps to stimulate the facial and eye muscles through chewing movements, accelerate blood circulation, and promote the development of gums, jaws and facial bones, which is both healthy and beautiful.

4. Promote calcium absorption

To enhance children's calcium absorption, encourage your baby to eat more foods high in calcium, such as milk, cheese, tofu, canned fish, etc. At the same time, they should take in enough vitamin C and D, because these two vitamins are helpful for calcium absorption.

5. Avoid breathing through your mouth

Try to prevent children from breathing through their mouths while they sleep. This is because when air flows through the mouth, the upper palate is subjected to upward pressure and cannot develop downward normally, causing the upper palate to bulge upward, and the left and right sides of the upper dental arch to become narrower, with the front part protruding forward. As a result, the erupted incisors not only tilt forward, but also are misaligned, forming gaps in the teeth.
