It happened to 8-year-old Xiaoyu (pseudonym). Xiaoyu's front teeth grew a multi-tooth next to it, after the extraction of multiple teeth, the gap between the front teeth appeared particularly large, and after his mother looked up information on the Internet, an article "rubber bands can make the gap between the teeth smaller" was pushed to her mobile phone. She felt that it made sense, so she also bought a rubber band and put it on Xiaoyu's front teeth, which brought Xiao Yu big trouble, and Xiaoyu almost lost two front teeth for this!
The gap between the front teeth after the extraction of the "extra teeth" appears particularly large
Xiao Yu's front teeth grew a "multi-life tooth" next to it.
After the extraction of multiple teeth, the gap between the front teeth appears large
A year ago, Xiaoyu's upper teeth grew an extra tooth outside the normal dentition, and this "extra tooth" grew obliquely on the left side of the front teeth. After going to the hospital for examination, it was found that this multi-tooth occupied the position of the permanent tooth embryo, and the corresponding permanent tooth root was only half developed, and the doctor recommended that the multiple teeth be extracted as soon as possible, and the permanent teeth could grow to a normal position.
Xiaoyu's mother listened to the doctor's advice and the tooth extraction was also smooth. But soon after, her mother found that the child's front teeth were particularly large, she habitually took out her mobile phone to look up the Internet, and soon received an article pushed by a software, which said that with a rubber band, the gap between the teeth could slowly become smaller. Xiaoyu's mother felt that it made sense, and as soon as the rubber band of the online shopping arrived, she couldn't wait to put it into the outer edge of Xiaoyu's two front teeth. Here's the thing!
The rubber band of the "gap between the teeth" is gone, but the two front teeth are getting longer and longer
Soon, the rubber band on Xiaoyu's front teeth disappeared, and everyone said that it might have fallen off, and that it might have been accidentally swallowed by Xiaoyu. Later, it was found that Xiaoyu's front teeth were red, swollen and bleeding; later, the two front teeth became longer and longer, and they were a little loose, and the slightest touch would hurt.
Xiaoyu's front teeth often bleed, lengthen, and loosen
At this time, Xiaoyu's mother was anxious and quickly took the child to the hospital, but after seeing several hospitals, and even turning the gums open to find it, she still did not find a rubber band. After many trips, Xiaoyu came to the Dental Center of Fujian Provincial Government Hospital. After the doctors of the center learned more and carefully examined, they were simply stunned by Xiaoyu's mother's behavior, thinking that this was simply a "textbook-level wrong case"!
The rubber band slid into the root tip area for surgery to remove the tooth to save
Where did the rubber band go? After careful examination of Xiaoyu, chief physician of the Department of Stomatology of the Provincial Organ Hospital, Pan Zaixing found that the rubber band had slipped into the root tip area and "topded" out two front teeth, so the front teeth became somewhat loose.
Why do rubber bands get into the root of the tooth? Chief Physician Pan Zaixing explained that our teeth are wedge-shaped, if directly into the rubber band, the rubber band will quickly slide under the gums, if not taken out in time, it will continue to slide into the root tip area, continue to separate our teeth from the periodontal tissue, resulting in the fiber structure and bone tissue of the fixed teeth around the teeth are destroyed, and eventually the teeth may be "loosened"!
Subsequently, Chief Physician Pan Zaixing performed a small operation for Xiaoyu to remove the rubber band that slid into the root of the tooth intact. However, whether the front teeth that have been loosened can only be saved depends on the healing ability of the teeth.

Reminder: The child's front teeth are large and mostly normal
Pan Zaixing, chief physician of the Oral Center of the Provincial Organ Hospital, introduced that when the two front teeth in the middle of the child have just erupted, the two teeth are "eight", which is a common symptom when children change their teeth, usually waiting for the front teeth or fangs next to them to erupt one after another.
In addition, the child's front teeth are larger, which may also be caused by bad habits such as finger gnawing, as well as abnormal lip ties, multiple teeth, etc. This situation should be treated as soon as possible.
Because of his wrong behavior of "network teething", let his son suffer so much, and almost destroyed his front teeth, Xiaoyu's mother was in tears the whole time, and blamed herself. In this regard, Chief Physician Pan Zaixing also sincerely warned everyone: in the face of all-encompassing network information, we must learn to judge, especially health-related, do not take the initiative to try, there is a disease or go to the hospital to find a specialist doctor!
