Early childhood refers to the stage in which children are born to three years old. It is the stage in which the deciduous teeth continue to be calcification, gradually sprout and form the columns of the milk teeth. It is also the stage in which the Permanent Teeth are gradually formed and the permanent teeth are in calcification. In early childhood, passive immunity acquired from the mother gradually disappears, and acquired immunity is not completely established, which is prone to some infectious diseases, nutritional disorders or other diseases, the normal sprouting of the deciduous teeth or the permanent teeth that are in the calcification period are affected, which may lead to the slow sprouting of the deciduous teeth and the enamel incomplete development of the permanent teeth. Early childhood is also prone to gum inflammation, a variety of Mucosal Diseases, congenital tooth and jaw deformity, tooth trauma and so on. This is closely related to factors such as children's bad eating habits, poor oral hygiene, low calcification of deciduous teeth, enamel insufficiency, immature immune system, and imperfect oral health service system.. Therefore, oral health of infants and young children should be given special attention. The health care and care during the tooth replacement period is very important, and it is directly related to whether the children's teeth are neat and beautiful in the future. Therefore, parents should strengthen care for their children during this period to give them a better tooth. Note 1: correct bad habits of children During the tooth replacement period, the deciduous teeth coexist with the permanent teeth. The permanent teeth have just sprouted, especially the "six-year-old teeth", which are the "Key to occlusion". They are large in size and have a large number of surface pits and are prone to food residues, in addition, most children do not brush their teeth thoroughly, which is often prone to caries. At this time, the most important thing is to teach the children to brush their teeth correctly. During the tooth replacement period, when the deciduous teeth are about to fall off, children often get used to licking the loose teeth with their tongue. This is a bad habit that will affect the normal appearance of permanent teeth and should be corrected in time. NOTE 2: dislocation of teeth affects appearance During the tooth replacement period, the children's teeth are being replaced, and the jaw is developing, and the occlusion relationship is gradually established. Sometimes temporary dislocation occurs. During the tooth development process, it is often able to adjust and restore to normal. Some malformed occlusion occurs. If the upper lip and lip are too low and the gap between the front teeth is too large, it cannot be adjusted on its own. This will affect face development. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis or treatment. Otherwise, the child's appearance will be affected. NOTE 3: Prevention and Treatment of dental caries During the tooth replacement period, the deciduous teeth are prone to dental caries. For example, the root point disease caused by dental caries can affect the growth of secondary permanent teeth. Therefore, pay attention to the timely treatment and prevention of dental caries, there must be no wrong idea that "the deciduous teeth will be changed sooner or later, and there is no need to cure them if they are broken. Doctor's advice: It is recommended that the deciduous teeth be retained to sprout out of the permanent teeth whenever possible. For example, premature loss of the deciduous teeth often leads to secondary permanent teeth sprouting out of the gap and leads to arrhythmia. Note 4: replace teeth and eat more chews when the children are about six or seven years old, the permanent teeth gradually sprout and replace the original deciduous teeth. Some children, even though the permanent teeth have sprouted, often refuse to "give up", forcing the permanent teeth to grow from the inner of the deciduous teeth to form a "double-layer tooth", resulting in irregular sorting of the permanent teeth. There are many reasons for delayed removal of the deciduous teeth. The most common reason is that the children are too refined to take full advantage of the physiological stimulation of their teeth. The main function of teeth is to chew food. chewing food can promote the growth and development of the root of deciduous teeth, as well as natural absorption and shedding. Therefore, as the children grow older, they should eat more chewy food to maintain a good stimulating effect on the deciduous teeth, so that the deciduous teeth will fall off on time. When both the front teeth and the back teeth of the child have sprouted, you can add some food such as celery, corn, and Apple to the child's teeth, so that the child can have a healthy and neat tooth. |
