Many mothers are concerned about the "big gap between teeth". Not only are they easy to stuff their teeth, they are also sparse, and they feel ugly when they look at them. Even the seven aunts and eight aunts will tell you that this is a manifestation of "leakage of money". The "talk of experience" made Baoma confused. Is it normal for
to have "large gaps"? Does
need to be corrected?
......
Today we will discuss this together.
For this situation, what I want to say is: "Parents don't need to worry about it. In fact, the gap between the baby's deciduous teeth is normal, and it may be a good thing..."
What is the use of the gap between the baby's deciduous teeth?
1. The space between deciduous teeth is the space for the growth of permanent teeth.
When a baby grows teeth, there are only 20 teeth in the entire mouth, while adult teeth have 28-32. In addition, the baby’s teeth are relatively small and there are gaps between the teeth It's normal.
Baby teeth have a wide interval, mainly to reserve space for permanent teeth. Because when changing teeth, the permanent teeth are much larger than the deciduous teeth (about 1.5-2 times). With these gaps, the permanent teeth can grow more neatly.
2, the gap between the baby teeth can reduce the risk of tooth decay
The gap between the baby’s teeth is wide, and another advantage is that it can reduce the risk of tooth decay. If the teeth are too close together, food residues will stay between the teeth, which can easily lead to tooth decay. If the baby has a wide gap between the teeth, it will be difficult for the food residues to stay between the teeth.
Therefore, it is a good thing to some extent that the gap between the teeth is wider when the baby grows deciduous teeth. When the teeth are replaced, they will grow better.
Seeing this, did you immediately open your baby's mouth—"Ah, my baby's teeth are so dense, how are they?" If your baby is still young, don't be too anxious. Usually, when the baby is 3 to 6 years old, the gap between the baby's teeth will gradually increase. With age, the baby's head becomes larger, and the number and size of baby teeth remain the same, and gaps will slowly appear between the teeth.
If the deciduous teeth are neat and there is no gap, if the deciduous teeth are very neat and there is no gap, the space may be too small and the permanent teeth may not be aligned properly.
Then what can we do to make the gap between the primary teeth bigger?
can usually nibble harder things (carrots, apples, corn, etc.) for the baby to exercise his chewing ability, which is not only conducive to the development of the jaws, but also to the smooth loss of deciduous teeth when changing teeth later.
In addition, preventing tooth decay, preventing tooth trauma, avoiding mouth breathing, correcting bad habits, etc., can all help the baby's teeth to develop neatly. Abnormal conditions of
will cause the gap between the teeth to be too wide.
In addition to the normal state of deciduous teeth, there will also be some abnormalities, resulting in wider gaps between the original deciduous teeth.
For example, the impacted tooth is embedded between the roots of the incisors, causing the tooth gap to be too wide; the labial band is too large and the position is too low; the deciduous tooth has caries loss; the baby has just extracted the heterogeneous tooth, etc., which will make the originally not tight teeth wider .
When such a situation occurs, parents must pay special attention to the baby's oral hygiene, and if necessary, take the child to a regular medical institution for treatment.
