Everyone grows teeth twice in their life, namely deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. The growth of permanent teeth must be the process of replacing deciduous teeth. Usually when a baby is about 6 years old, the sleeping permanent teeth will gradually grow and slowly replace the deciduous teeth. By the time the baby is 12-13 years old, he can basically have 28 teeth.

Children initially have deciduous teeth instead of permanent teeth. The permanent teeth are buried in the gums at first. They usually start to change teeth when they are 6 years old. At this time, the sleeping permanent teeth will slowly wake up and then push hard. The baby teeth can't hold it anymore, so they are pushed higher and higher, from shaking to finally falling off, completing the mission.

After the deciduous teeth are "laid off", the permanent teeth begin to officially engage in chewing work. When the child is about 12-13 years old, the handover work between the deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth will be completed. From then on, the permanent teeth will accompany the child throughout his life and accompany him to eat and drink. Therefore, parents must guide their children when their teeth are changing, so that children can develop the good habit of caring for teeth and paying attention to oral hygiene from an early age.

How can mothers help their children go through the teething period smoothly so that their babies can have bright eyes and bright teeth? Correct bad habits. Many babies like to lick their deciduous teeth with their tongues when they are loose. This habit must be corrected in time! There are also many children who like to pull out loose deciduous teeth with their hands, and some mothers even "help" the deciduous teeth to make them fall out quickly. Never use brute force to pull out deciduous teeth, otherwise the teeth may break or the roots of the teeth may be damaged, causing unnecessary trouble. The main function of teeth is chewing, so during the period of tooth replacement, you can eat some hard foods, such as apples, carrots, celery, corn, etc., so that the deciduous teeth can fall out naturally.
