China conducted a nationwide survey on children's dental health. The results showed that in China, about 50% of 3-year-old children suffered from dental caries, while about 70% of 5-year-old children suffered from dental caries. In other words, at least seven out of ten children have dental caries. Many parents think that it is normal for their children to lose a few teeth, which means that they need to grow new teeth, and then they don't realize that there may be something wrong with the teeth. There is also a time limit for children to lose their teeth when they are young.
6-8 years old: the child gradually grows the first permanent tooth, and the deciduous teeth begin to fall off.
7-8 years old: the upper and middle deciduous teeth and lower deciduous teeth gradually fall off, and the upper and middle permanent teeth and lower permanent teeth gradually grow out.
8-9 years old: deciduous teeth on both sides of the upper side fall off and permanent teeth on the upper side grow out.
9- 12 years old: the first and second molars have fallen out, and the first and second fangs will be born soon.
10- 12 years old: deciduous teeth fall off and permanent teeth grow out.
12- 13 years old: deciduous teeth have been basically replaced by permanent teeth.
And the last few molars, that is, molars, 17 years old or 2 1 years old will grow out. In all children's tooth changing period, it is also a key stage to maintain children's teeth.
How to tell if a child's teeth are defective? With these processes, we can pay attention to it and find early treatment as soon as possible. The first step: let the child open his mouth and observe whether the child's teeth are neat and whether there are crooked teeth and accumulated teeth.
Step 2: Are the gaps between teeth neat, with food residue, dark teeth, urinary calculi or tooth decay?
Step 3: Tap the left and right teeth gently to see if there are any wobbly teeth. Pay attention to tap your teeth, too hard will cause damage to your teeth.
The fourth part: You can teach your child to feel the teeth in his lips with his tongue, whether he feels sore, whether he feels uncomfortable when encountering sour, cold and sweet ingredients, and whether he feels bleeding or sore when brushing his teeth and gargling.
Step 5: Check whether the child's tooth wall is damaged, such as swollen gums or feeling bloated.
Step 6: Whether the gum is light pink, healthy and swollen.
Step 7: You can swallow a mouthful of saliva and ask if you feel thirsty after 30 seconds.
This convenient and reasonable trick can be tried by parents at any time. If the child's oral condition is consistent, it is physical and mental health. On the contrary, parents and friends need to pay attention. So how to prevent tooth decay and maintain children's teeth?
Some parents think that their children's teeth have grown and developed, and they can't eat some solid ingredients. It is really endless for parents to eat multiple-choice soft meals.
So how to better maintain the teeth during the child's tooth change, we can look at these ways. 1, see the growth and development of children's teeth.
Parents should always pay attention to their children's tooth replacement period, and always pay attention to their children's dental condition. If they find tooth decay or dental disease, they should see a doctor as soon as possible so as not to endanger the growth and development of facial bones and permanent teeth.
2. Cultivate good habits of brushing and gargling.
Sticking to brushing your teeth and gargling is the most basic way to clean your teeth. Sooner or later, when the children are young, some places will not be brushed. It is best for parents to brush, such as the teeth and the molars inside. It is best to use children's professional toothbrush and mouthwash. In addition, it is also important for children to develop a way of gargling after meals, so as to keep their oral health.
3. The ingredients should be hard.
The ingredients containing dietary fiber during tooth changing are better, such as corn, carrots, beans or fresh fruits. Therefore, the deciduous teeth are stimulated to erupt on time. It can also temper everyone's facial muscles, speed up the reaction of blood circulation system and promote the growth and development of facial bones, killing two birds with one stone.
It is very important to supplement calcium.
During tooth changing, make sure to give your child a certain amount of calcium every day. We can drink some milk and eat some beans or fish eggs every day.
You don't have to breathe with your mouth.
Breathing through the mouth for a long time will deform our teeth and lead to tooth loss, which is also very harmful to the child's appearance.
Step 6 correct bad habits
Tooth deformation is related to children's bad habits. When doing homework, I like to think with a pen, lick the gum position where my teeth fall, and bite my tongue and fingers. It is not only harmful to teeth, but also unhealthy.
7. Maintain permanent teeth
The child's first permanent molar will grow and develop around 6 years old, which plays a key role in the growth and development of your child's eyes and the neatness of permanent teeth.
