The child's teeth were not neat, it turned out that the child had an untidy teeth . The baby's deciduous teeth . I got sick
According to relevant data statistics, the caries rate of 5-year-old children in China is as high as 70.9%, and the untreated rate is 95%, and it is on the rise.
"The cause of tooth decay is a four-consecutive factor: teeth, food, bacteria and time. When these four factors are superimposed, tooth decay will form. While the child will feel pain, tooth decay will also affect the growth of the child's permanent teeth. Once the child has tooth decay, it must be actively treated." Zhang Yunyan, deputy director of the Department of Children's Dental Department, said, "Some parents will feel that the baby teeth need to be replaced sooner or later, and it doesn't matter if they are not repaired. However, the important role of the baby teeth is ignored - guiding the eruption of permanent teeth. Dental diseases of the baby teeth will affect the growth of permanent teeth, and the premature eruption of permanent teeth, ectopic eruption, etc., resulting in uneven teeth."

How to prevent tooth decay in the four causes of tooth decay? Zhang Yunyan introduced that the first is to target teeth. We should supplement nutrition, clean food residues in time after the teeth are solid and neat, and reduce the risk of rotten teeth and ; the second is to target food. Eat less sugar and eat less low-stick candies after a meal; thirdly, target bacteria. Use toothbrush and floss to clean the mouth; fourth, it is for time. It only takes 3 to 6 months for children to develop caries, so regular oral health checks are required.
What should I do if my child doesn’t want to brush his teeth? Zhang Yunyan said: "First of all, help children become familiar with the tools for brushing their teeth. It is recommended that parents wear rubber covers on their fingers or use clean water to clean their children's mouth. While protecting teeth health, let children be familiar with the process of massaging teeth." For children over 2 years old, they can choose children's toothpaste to choose the taste that their children like, Zhang Yunyan reminds.
"Healthy teeth are like a neat guard, standing straight in our jaw bones. However, when children's teeth have double rows of teeth, 'ground cover', tongue sticking out, lip biting, mouth breathing, etc., it will not only affect the normal eruption of permanent teeth and the decrease in biting force, but also affect the child's face and mental health. Parents should take their children to the dental hospital for correction in time." Zhang Yunyan said, how to prevent children's teeth from being uneven? "First of all, you should eat more coarse grains to promote bone development, and secondly, correct children's bad habits in a timely manner, such as stretching your chin, sticking out your tongue, biting your lips, etc. In addition, you should check your teeth regularly and intervene as soon as possible when you find tooth decay, premature teeth loss, etc.."
wisdom teeth Don't rush to pull it out. It turns out that you can "for tooth to teeth"
can wisdom teeth that bother countless people, and you can also use it? According to Deputy Director Zhou Libin of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, autologous dental transplantation is a surgical procedure for transplanting teeth from one position in the oral cavity of the same body to another. In this process, the wisdom teeth that were pulled were fully utilized and "medical waste" was turned into "medical resources".

The seemingly unnecessary smart teeth can play such a great role. Does smart teeth still need to be removed? Zhou Libin reminds that if wisdom teeth cause chronic or acute pain, cause certain hindrance to other teeth, or cause local lesions, it is recommended to remove them as soon as possible. If the wisdom teeth grow in the correct position and direction and can establish a good occlusal relationship with the jaw teeth, there is no need to be removed.
"Dental implants have strict requirements on bone quality and bone mass, and at the same time require expensive materials and equipment. Autologous dental transplantation is undoubtedly a more economical and widely adaptable option." Zhou Libin introduced in detail through the case. This is a 30-year-old female patient. The right upper jaw lacks tooth No. 5, so a dental implant was selected. The situation on the left is even more complicated. The two teeth on the left upper jaw have deep cavities, and their growth direction is different from other teeth. They are growing in a slanted direction and have no normal occlusal relationship. The 6th tooth on the left lower jaw is only rotten, and the 7th and 8th teeth next to it have already tilted forward. Zhou Libin explained that if the dental implant method is adopted, all five teeth in the left oral cavity need to be removed, including teeth No. 7 and No. 8 with relatively intact left jaw. Compared with dental implants, only three rotten teeth need to be removed in autologous dental transplantation. First, the wisdom tooth on the left lower jaw is transplanted to the position of the left upper upper jaw No. 7. After the wisdom tooth is removed, the 7th on the side can be pushed back and straightened by orthodontic means, and the gap between the teeth is expanded. Finally, after enlarging the tooth gap, the wisdom teeth of the right lower jaw are transplanted at the gap.
"Autologic tooth transplantation turns wisdom teeth into treasure" and has many advantages." According to Zhou Libin, natural teeth repair is first used to preserve the proprioception of the teeth. It is a better treatment option than fixed or movable denture . After periodontal membrane heals, the transplant can be moved orthodontically. The price is more affordable than dental implants. Some fans mentioned that the wisdom teeth that must be pulled out were frozen and stored like umbilical cord blood. Can I use them when I need to use them? In response, Zhou Libin said that the current technology is not yet achieved, and it is still necessary to transplant the newly extracted teeth to another place immediately so that they can be successfully implanted.
Orthodontics is not a patent for young people, and middle-aged and elderly people can also use
In order to have beautiful and healthy teeth, many people will choose orthodontics. Why have never seen a star active in front of the screen wear steel braces but still have enviable teeth? Director Liu Chang from the Department of Orthodontics revealed the answer for us.
"Currently, invisible orthodontics can be achieved through transparent braces and lingual orthodontics. Transparent braces processed with digital technology using polymer materials have high strength, toughness, wear resistance, and can achieve most of the movement of the teeth. And lingual orthodontics is a method of correcting the lingual side of the teeth (that is, the inside of the teeth), which meets the patient's aesthetic requirements to the greatest extent and avoids working and social obstacles caused by the brackets and steel wires attached to the tooth surface. "Liu Chang introduced, "Traditional braces are small iron sheets called brackets on the teeth, which ligate the orthodontic arch wires to move the teeth and achieve the purpose of correction. However, because there are many orthodontic devices on the teeth, they give people the feeling of "iron-mouth steel teeth". At the same time, if the oral hygiene is not well maintained, it may cause oral damage such as gingival inflammation, tooth demineralization and discoloration."

In addition to being transparent and beautiful, what are the advantages of transparent braces? Liu Chang pointed out that transparent braces have little impact on oral functions such as pronunciation and chewing. As a removable regulator, it is more conducive to oral cleaning. Compared with traditional braces, the risk of dental demineralization and periodontal inflammation is reduced. In addition, relying on digital design of technology, visual treatment plans and treatment results can be obtained, which is more conducive to doctor-patient communication with ; through digital processing technology, a series of invisible braces can be produced according to the treatment plan, thereby extending the follow-up interval (2-3 months follow-up visit).
Transparent braces and lingual orthodontics are not perfect orthodontics methods. Liu Chang reminds that transparent braces are removable, but they need to wear them every day for more than 22 hours, which requires good cooperation from patients. Compared with other correction methods, lingual correction has a greater impact on oral function in the early stages, and it is difficult to maintain oral hygiene and maintenance and has a high incidence of gingivitis.
Are invisible braces and lingual orthodontics patents for young people? In this regard, Liu Chang said that patients of different ages can choose. It is also recommended to choose the most cost-effective correction method suitable for you under the guidance of a professional doctor. "The treatment of any orthodontic device requires the cooperation between doctors and patients. The pursuit of beauty is important, but health and good functions are equally important." Liu Chang said.
QA
Q: Children rarely eat candy at home, but small black spots appear on their teeth. Is this tooth decay?
A: A child has small black spots on his teeth, which may not be tooth decay, because the child has another disease - pigmentation of teeth. It also manifests as a small black dot. With the naked eye, you need to go to the hospital to find a doctor to make professional judgments.
Q: When is the golden age for children to correct their teeth?
A: The correction time is also different for different dental problems. If the child has a situation where the earth is full of heaven and jaw is reversed, it is recommended to correct it as soon as possible. If there is a problem with small jaws, girls aged 10 to 11 and boys aged 12 will get better results. If there is no obvious jaw deformity and only children with problems such as teeth arrhythmia, they will start treatment around the age of 13.
Q: Why do root canal treatment need to be done after autologous tooth transplant?
A: If the donor has developed completely, root canal treatment is required. Root canal treatment is to temporarily block the calcium hydroxide in the teeth, otherwise the teeth nerves inside will become necrotic and inflamed, which will eventually lead to the failure of root absorption and transplantation.
Q: Can I do orthodontics after root canal treatment of teeth? The tooth wall is already very thin. Will wearing braces affect this tooth?
A: will not affect it. Although the nerves in the pulp are dead, the nerves around the teeth are healthy. In addition, the power of moving teeth is very small, about 100g to 200g, so there is no need to worry about this.
Q: What should I do if I have trauma and fall off in permanent teeth?
A: If permanent teeth have trauma and fall off, you need to put the fallen teeth in normal saline. If not, you can put them in milk or pure water. If the surrounding conditions are limited and you cannot find saline, milk or clean water, you can also put the fallen teeth in your mouth and put them under your tongue. Do not wrap the fallen teeth in paper or hold them in your hands. Go to the oral department of a professional or general hospital for treatment immediately.
Q: How old can a child use floss?
A: If a child can use floss as soon as possible when he grows up, use floss as soon as possible and cleans the gaps in the teeth in time. There are no special age restrictions.
