Congenital factor
In fact, there are many factors that lead to children's straight teeth today, and congenital factors are one of them. When the child is still in the mother's body, it will be influenced by the mother's own factors, so that the baby who is still developing can't absorb normal nutrition, which may lead to the straight and crooked teeth after the baby is born.
Acquired sexual orientation
After the child is born, if the nutrition intake is insufficient, or because of other diseases, it will also lead to the situation that the baby's teeth are not straight and not long after teething; In addition, there are some bad behavior habits, such as sucking fingers and biting lips for a long time, which will also cause problems in the baby's teeth, make the deciduous teeth fall off early, and cause problems in the growth of permanent teeth.
The growth space of permanent teeth is insufficient.
The size of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth is not fixed. When a child changes teeth, the newly grown permanent teeth may be larger than the previously lost deciduous teeth, resulting in a small room for growth, which will definitely squeeze the teeth next to them, change the shape of the teeth, and make the teeth grow crooked or overlap.
Parents need to pay more attention to their children during tooth replacement, especially these issues must be paid attention to:
Premature shedding or retention of deciduous teeth
There is a time sequence for deciduous teeth to fall off. Before the time, deciduous teeth will fall off, which will lead to the inclination of adjacent teeth on both sides and affect the eruption of permanent teeth in the future. If this happens, parents should take their children to the hospital in time to customize the retainer to ensure that the permanent teeth have enough places to grow. The average child's deciduous teeth are about 5-7 years old. If the deciduous teeth are delayed, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and pull out the deciduous teeth to facilitate the eruption of permanent teeth.
Dislocation of teeth affects face shape.
During the alternation of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth, the jaw is also developing, and the occlusal relationship is established at the same time. During this period, there will be temporary malocclusion of teeth, so parents need not worry too much, because teeth will adjust themselves during development.
However, there will be unexpected situations. If the position of the upper lip frenum is too low and the gap between the upper teeth is too large, the malocclusion will not adjust itself when changing teeth, which will affect the child's face. You should go to the hospital immediately.
Are there any difficulties during the eruption of permanent teeth?
During the tooth changing period, the child never changed his teeth, probably because the deciduous teeth fell off prematurely and lacked calcium. At this time, you can give your child calcium tablets or cod liver oil and go outdoors to bask in the sun. If permanent teeth never erupt, parents should immediately take their children to a regular stomatological hospital for medical help.
Get rid of sb's bad habits
When changing teeth, permanent teeth and deciduous teeth exist in the mouth at the same time, food residues are easy to stay in the teeth, and children's brushing action is not very standardized, which is easy to lead to dental caries. Therefore, parents should tell their children that the correct way of brushing teeth can ensure healthier teeth.
Because of changing teeth, children will lick loose deciduous teeth with their tongues from time to time, which will disrupt the normal occlusion of teeth, affect the eruption of permanent teeth, and the teeth will be arranged irregularly. Therefore, parents should correct their children not to lick loose teeth with their tongues and correct their bad living habits.
Children eat too carefully during tooth changing.
Some parents will cook more carefully in order to make their babies change their teeth smoothly, which will easily cause the retention of deciduous teeth and affect the smooth eruption of permanent teeth. The function of teeth is mainly to chew food. Eating too carefully will lead to the decline of chewing function of teeth, which is not conducive to the normal eruption of permanent teeth. Therefore, parents should give their children more chewy food to stimulate their deciduous teeth and make them fall off on time.
The quality of teeth can be said to be related to the future life of children. Therefore, parents need to pay special attention when changing teeth. If you want to have beautiful and healthy teeth, you should lay a good foundation and develop good dental care habits from an early age.
