How to care for your baby's teeth? Can there be tooth deformity in infancy?

Generally speaking, all teeth will grow out before the age of two, which is called deciduous teeth. When they are about six years old, they will be replaced by permanent teeth. Some permanent teeth may be deformed due to external factors or genetic influences.

What are the conditions of children's tooth deformity?

1. Double mandibular protrusion

Bimandibular protrusion is also called convex mouth. The upper and lower dental arches of the child's teeth will protrude outwards, and the mouth cannot be closed normally. From the side, the mouth is very prominent, which affects the beauty of the face.

2. fangs

20% of children will have buck teeth. When children's teeth erupt, not only can the teeth not be closed normally, but also the teeth will be exposed directly, shortening the contraction of the chin.

3. Tooth arrangement

Under normal circumstances, the upper gum should cover the lower gum. If the lower gum covers the upper gum, it is called "covering the soil". There are also some cases where the upper and lower gums do not cover each other, which are called opposite teeth.

How to prevent children's tooth deformity?

1, check regularly

As parents, we should pay more attention to the abnormal situation of children's teeth. When the children's teeth are all well, they should go to the hospital to check their teeth regularly to see if there are any dental caries or gingivitis. Problems should be treated in time to prevent tooth deformity.

2. Correct bad oral habits

When children are found to have bad habits of biting their fingers, biting their lips or licking their teeth, they should be stopped in time and guided correctly. Never let the child continue, otherwise it will cause tooth deformity.

3. Good eating habits

Six-month-old children should add complementary food. Some parents will make food soft and rotten in order to let their children absorb the nutrition of food. Although it is not used for chewing, it is beneficial to digestion, but it will increase the risk of tooth deformity. Only when the teeth have enough chewing ability will the teeth become more tidy. Therefore, children can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, chew nuts properly and exercise their gums.

Parents should pay more attention to their children's teeth. If they find their teeth deformed or decayed, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time. After correction, it can be completely recovered without affecting the face shape. The degree of tooth deformity is different, and the treatment methods are different. They must choose a regular hospital for treatment. It takes some time to achieve obvious results after orthodontics.
