What should I do if a small tooth grows inside my child's teeth?

Parents pay great attention to the tooth replacement period of children, because the teeth after tooth replacement will accompany the children for life. If there is a problem with the newly grown teeth, it will affect the mental health of the children. For example, some children will have a small tooth growing inside their teeth. This situation is due to overnutrition and is clinically called double teeth. The best way is to extract the deciduous teeth. So what should we do if a child has a small tooth growing inside his teeth?

First, what should you do if a small tooth grows inside your child's teeth? The growth of a small tooth indicates two situations: First, it may be retained deciduous teeth. The small tooth is a permanent tooth and cannot be extracted. Because the deciduous teeth did not fall off automatically during the tooth replacement period, they occupied the position of the permanent teeth, causing the eruption of the permanent teeth to be blocked and grow crooked. In this case, such as double rows of teeth, the deciduous teeth must be extracted. The second type is when supernumerary teeth erupt again after the tooth replacement period, which also need to be extracted.

Second, what should be paid attention to during the period of tooth replacement? Let the child eat more hard food, not too fine, otherwise it will not stimulate the absorption of deciduous teeth, and the eruption of permanent teeth will also be hindered, and the relative time will be much slower. In addition, more calcium must be supplemented. Teeth are developing and need calcium supplementation. To prevent the occurrence of caries, you can use fluoride-containing children's toothpaste after the child is 3 years old, such as Gillan strawberry-flavored children's toothpaste, etc., mainly sodium monofluorophosphate can improve remineralization and protect tooth enamel. Check your child's tooth replacement regularly. If the permanent teeth have not erupted for a long time, you should take your child to the hospital for examination. If the deciduous teeth are lost prematurely, you should wear a spacer because permanent teeth are generally much larger than deciduous teeth, which will prevent the adjacent teeth from being tilted.

What should I do if a small tooth grows inside a child's teeth? Generally speaking, if a lot of new teeth have erupted and the baby teeth are still not loose, it is recommended to extract the baby teeth, and the new teeth will adjust to their normal position by themselves. Note: Generally, during the process of tooth growth, the teeth will make certain adjustments on their own. If all the deciduous teeth are replaced but are still not aligned, corrective treatment can be performed. Therefore, if the deciduous teeth have not fallen out and the permanent teeth have not erupted, do not extract them easily, because the deciduous teeth need to occupy space waiting for the permanent teeth to erupt.
