We all remember those sleepless nights when the first teeth were cutting through our bloodshed. Teething is quite a long and rather painful process. But everything turns out to be behind by about the 3rd year olds, when your baby can boast of 20, like beads, teeth. These are temporary teeth that are called milky. Starting from 6 years, they begin to fall in order to make room permanent. But this is a completely natural and painless process that should not frighten parents.
Usually, baby teeth change. on permanent around the 4th yearwhen a child starts to erupt third molars. It is this period that can be considered the beginning of the process of falling out of the milk teeth. What teeth change in a child will be discussed below.
In general, the process of loss of milk teeth is quite long and can last five to eight years old. This period depends on:
- Child genetics
- Varieties of food intake
- Drinking water quality
No matter how many dairy baby teeth, by the age of 13-14, they completely change to permanent ones.
Dropout process
So, how many baby teeth does a baby have? Twenty, and they are laid in the womb, but they start to be cut from about the age of six months. All twenty milk teeth appear consistently, but as you know, these are temporary teeth, which are then replaced by permanent ones.
Usually, parents ask themselves what to do when a child drops teeth. When a baby has a baby tooth, the wound usually bleeds for about 5-10 minutes. You can in this case, put a dry cotton or gauze swab. But if the bleeding lasts longer, then you should consult a pediatrician. At first, whenever possible, the child should be limited to spicy, salty, hot food and cold water so that the wound has the opportunity to drag on.
After falling out of a baby tooth in a child temperature may rise. If the temperature itself has subsided, then everything is fine, do not worry, but if the temperature continues to rise, you should consult a doctor, because this is a sign of an inflammatory process. And the fallen tooth? What to do with him? All parents have an answer to this question. Some parents "give mice" a fallen tooth, others teach children to hide it under a pillow so that at night the "tooth fairy" exchanges it for coins, and still others simply give some sweets in return. The main task is to ensure that the process of falling out does not cause negative reactions in the child and is associated with a pleasant event in life.
Milk teeth though are temporary, but care is also neededAfter all, it is on the basis of the health of permanent teeth that healthy milk teeth lie. If milk teeth are damaged by caries, then there is a risk that the permanent can also be damaged by this disease. So parents should not only talk to children about regular brushing your teeth, but also to check how they brush their teeth. After all, most children clean their teeth with the principle "the sooner I clean it, the sooner I will play." It is necessary to explain to the child all the benefits of brushing teeth.
The process of loss of milk teeth is very simple and at the same time interesting. The roots of milk teeth are first reduced, and then resolved. But for the full the formation of teeth need about 3 years. Therefore, it is important to remember that the enamel of just cut teeth is very fragile and care should be taken to care for them. It is necessary to follow from the regular cleansing and ending with the full nutrition of the child, which should include all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the formation of the child's body.
The scheme of loss of milk and the eruption of permanent teeth in children. As can be seen in the diagram, the central incisors fall out first, the lateral, and then canines, premolars, 1st molar and 2nd.
Causes of delayed fallout
You can face the situation when falling out a bit. This may be due to the heredity of the child, rickets, or the consequence of an infectious disease.
“Shark teeth” is a situation where a baby tooth staggers, but does not fall. And parallel to this grows constant. That is, it turns out that the teeth grow in two rows, like a shark. But this process is not so scary. Milk teeth eventually fall out and the permanent ones gradually take their “rightful place”. But if within 3 months he did not fall out, then it is worth consulting with the pediatric dentist.
It also happens that a child is 16-17 years old, but the last baby teeth have not yet fallen out. This situation is due to malnutritionIn particular, the lack of vitamins and calcium in the diet of the child, as well as chronic infectious diseases. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor, because the body functions fail, which must be identified and appropriate treatment is prescribed.
Reasons for dropping out earlier
Teeth begin to fall out ahead of time. This situation occurs when the child is injured or the tooth was sick and his removed prematurely. Once it happened, you should not be upset. Modern dentistry has recently moved forward and doctors have invented “artificial space holders”. What function do these holders perform? Simple. With the help of an ordinary plate, attached to the tooth keep the place where the permanent should appear.
In general, the process of dropping out milk teeth and replacing it with a permanent process is quite demanding of your attention. After all, healthy teeth are the key to further self-confidence and beauty of your child. So the parents take great care of the children during this period, so that the whole process goes without any nuances.
It is necessary to pay special attention to:
- Oral hygiene.
- The diet of baby food to include all the necessary vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the children's body.
- More often than not, the child tries to pull out a loose tooth and touch the wound. In this case, it is necessary for the child to explain that the tooth itself should fall out and touch it; it is not necessary that the microbes do not penetrate the wound and the inflammatory process does not begin. At least once every six months, a visit to the pediatric dentist is also necessary in order to consult about the issues that have arisen.
