Many parents also have some "myths" in the protection of deciduous teeth, the health of deciduous teeth is closely related to the health of the permanent teeth replaced later, and only by loving and caring for the deciduous teeth can the permanent teeth germinate healthily. So, how should parents maintain their children's oral health in daily life? Let's take a look at the answer of Dai Li, a pediatric dentist at Nanjing Stomatological Hospital.
Q: When will your baby start teething, and at what age will he be able to grow all of his deciduous teeth?
A: Babies generally start teething from 6 months old (there are differences between individual teething time), and 20 deciduous teeth can grow around 2 and a half years old.
Q: What happens when a baby is born with teeth, and what should I do with it?
A: Some babies have teeth at birth, called "birth teeth", and deciduous teeth that erupt within 30 days of birth, called "newborn teeth". If the teeth are crumbling, there is a risk of inhalation into the respiratory tract, and rubbing the tongue band can lead to deep ulcers that can also affect the baby's feeding. Removal is often necessary and the baby should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.
Q: My baby has a big gap between his teeth and eats stuffed teeth, is this normal?
A: There is a gap between the deciduous teeth, which is normal in most cases. Tooth size does not change as the body grows and develops, but as we age, the gaps between the deciduous teeth increase as your child's jaws develop, which is normal. If the gap between teeth is missing part of the crown (often "tooth decay"), it is not normal, and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Correspondent Cheng Lin Li Wei
