Dental deformity , Dental caries , toothache and other problems are troubles to many people, and these dental problems are likely caused by negligence when they were young. Doctors remind parents that when taking care of their children, they should pay attention to the critical period of oral care.
What should I pay attention to during the critical period of oral care?
1, early childhood
deciduous teeth starts to erupt from about 6 months, and all grows at about two and a half years old. During this period, special attention should be paid to the issue of feeding infants and young children. When feeding, the long axis direction of the bottle should be perpendicular to the child's face, at a 90-degree angle. If the lower gum is too pressed, it will cause convexity of the upper jaw, and over time it may cause convex shape on the child's face. On the contrary, if the upper gum is over-pressed, the child will naturally extend his jaw forward in order to suck milk, which may form a "earth-covered sky".
2. During the deciduous tooth period,
Avoid biting hands and sucking fingers. This behavior may affect the eruption of teeth. Also, be careful to avoid protruding the jaw and avoid breathing with your mouth. When a child sleeps, if his mouth is always open and the air flow enters through the mouth, over time, it will cause the teeth to be deeply covered and the jaw to be retracted and . In addition, avoid chewing on one side, and do not often stick out your tongue. Some children have the habit of sticking out their tongues, which will affect the closure of upper and lower teeth.
3, tooth replacement period
First of all, beware of double teeth. As the child grows into the tooth change stage, the baby teeth do not fall off and remain in their original position. At the same time, new permanent teeth also emerge, forming double rows of teeth. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for an oral examination. Secondly, beware of premature loss of baby teeth. If the deciduous teeth fall off too early, the permanent teeth below have not yet grown, and the teeth on both sides will tilt towards the gaps in the missing teeth, occupying the space for the permanent teeth to erupt.
There are many reasons for toothache. For example, after tooth decay reaches a certain depth, it becomes pulpitis or apical periarthritis , which will cause sharp pain. If you find tooth problems, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
