Teeth Precautions for Children
Almost at age of six, children start to grow permanent teeth, and the milk teeth replace alternately. Until 12 years old, their milk teeth replacement finishes. During this period, in the oral cavity, there are both permanent teeth and milk teeth, which is called tooth replacement period. It is the time for the growth of the jaw bone and teeth bow. What’s more, it is a key period for establishment of permanent teeth.
1. The oral preventive oral cavity examination is very important. Check the teeth at least once a year so as to detect and treat oral diseases and dental diseases.
2. Protection of “six-year-old teeth” should pay a key role. At the age of six, children grow their first permanent tooth, which has greatly effect on the places of other permanent teeth. The “six-year-old teeth” grows directly behind the second milk molar, instead of replacing a milk tooth. Thus, “six-year-old tooth” is mistakenly considered as a milk teeth and the protection of it is ignored by most people.
“six-year-old tooth” grows earlier than other teeth. What’s more, the teeth surface afford much place for bacteria, thus tooth decay appears easily.
In order to keep six-year-old teeth from dental diseases, you should take the children to the doctor for some medical protection and treatment. Meanwhile, you should warn the children not to eat too much sweets and sticky food, ask them to brush teeth both in the morning and in the evening, and tell them not to eat any more after brushing teeth. And if tooth decay appears, go to the doctor as soon as possible.
3. Prevention for the fall of milk molars.
Protection for the milk molars, especially for the second ones, is essential in children’s oral cavity, health and fitness. The second milk molar often replace at the age of 12. If you had to have the second molar out, a medical substance should be placed into the previous position. Or the following permanent teeth grow in incorrect places, thus the teeth are not neat.
If the milk teeth do not fall at a moral time, the lower front teeth grow inside the milk teeth, or the upper front teeth grow outside them, which looks like double-layered teeth, the loose milk teeth should be pulled out so that the permanent teeth can grow normally. If the permanent teeth still do not come out normally, you should take your children to the hospital for a check, which can make sure the location of the permanent teeth. If the teeth bed is too thick, which influence the normal growth of permanent teeth, the child should be taken to the hospital, and the teeth bed should be cut to help the growth of permanent teeth.
