Nursing:
1. Please pay attention to whether the deciduous teeth are stuck or fall off prematurely. There is a certain time and order for deciduous teeth to fall off, which should not be called deciduous teeth retention. The consequence is often that permanent teeth cannot erupt in normal positions. The most common is that the lower front permanent teeth grow on the inner side of deciduous teeth, and the upper front permanent teeth grow on the outer side of deciduous teeth, which looks like double-layer teeth. What should I do in this case? Children should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible to remove the stranded deciduous teeth and make room for the eruption of permanent teeth.
If the deciduous teeth fall off before they should, it is called premature deciduous teeth fall off, which often leads to the adjacent teeth on both sides leaning towards the gap of missing teeth, which makes the gap of missing teeth smaller, and the permanent teeth sprout out of position due to insufficient gap. At this time, a gap retainer (customized by the Department of Stomatology of the hospital) should be installed at the gap of the deciduous teeth to prevent the teeth on both sides from tilting, so as to keep the eruption position of the permanent teeth until the permanent teeth erupt.
2. Pay attention to whether permanent teeth are difficult to erupt. The deciduous teeth fall off prematurely, and children are used to chewing and licking with gums, which will become thick and tough, hindering the eruption of permanent teeth. Therefore, if the child has reached the age of changing teeth and the permanent teeth have not yet grown out, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination in time and get the help of the doctor. Calcium deficiency in children is also an important reason for delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Parents should give their children calcium supplements in time.
3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the child's mouth. During tooth replacement, deciduous teeth coexist with permanent teeth, and permanent teeth just erupt, especially the "six-year-old tooth", which is the key to occlusion, has a large volume and many pits and grooves on the occlusal surface, which is easy to retain food residues. In addition, most children don't like to brush their teeth, like to eat sweets, and dental caries often occur. Once it happens, it should be treated as soon as possible. The most important thing at this time is to teach children to brush their teeth correctly.
4. Pay attention to correct children's bad habits. When changing teeth, when deciduous teeth are loose and about to fall off, children are often used to licking loose teeth with their tongues. This is a bad habit, which will affect the normal eruption of permanent teeth. It is necessary to correct it in time to prevent malocclusion-that is, the teeth are not arranged neatly.
5. During the tooth changing period, the child's teeth are changing, the jaw is developing, and then the occlusal relationship is gradually established, and sometimes temporary malocclusion occurs. In the process of tooth development, they can often adjust themselves and return to normal. Some malocclusion deformities, such as the gap between the upper teeth caused by the low labial frenum position of the upper lip, cannot be adjusted by itself, which will affect the facial development. You should go to the hospital for treatment, otherwise it will affect the child's appearance.
