Which tooth is more precious than gold in the mouth?
There are two sets of teeth in a person's life. The first set is deciduous teeth (to replace lost teeth), and there are 20 deciduous teeth in total. The second set is the permanent teeth (permanent). There are 28 to 32 permanent teeth in total. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that elders and younger ones are arranged in an orderly manner. The elder will shoulder many important responsibilities. Did you know that teeth are also divided into elder and younger ones, and the "eldest" is also very important. The so-called "big brother" of teeth is an important tooth among the tooth brothers. The big brother refers to the largest permanent molar in the child's mouth. It is divided into four upper, lower, left and right teeth, behind the last deciduous molar. , medically called six-year-old teeth. As the name suggests, sixth-year teeth erupt when a child is around six years old. Generally speaking, the sixth-instar tooth is the earliest tooth to erupt, is the largest in size, and has the longest lifespan. Just like the backbone, the sixth-instar tooth also plays a very important role in maintaining normal bite function and exerting and improving chewing efficiency.
Six-year-old teeth are very unfamiliar to many people, but as friends of parents, we must pay enough attention to this term. Sixth-year-old teeth are like a big stone mill in the mouth. More than 50% of fine chewing depends on these four teeth. Teeth are organs, and missing one affects the overall situation. Children have to rely on six-year-old teeth to eat in this life. If a person lives to be 80 years old, it will take 70 years. Important things to say three times: the teeth in the baby's mouth are more precious than gold - "six-year-old teeth". It’s so important to protect your “six-year-old teeth”! So important! So important!
In the past, people believed that toothache was not a disease. When the pain started, they just took some medicine, and if it didn’t get better, they just pulled it out. Anyway, there were so many teeth, so it didn’t matter if one or two were pulled out. But in fact this concept is seriously wrong.
Not long ago, a mother left a message in the background saying: Her 8-year-old daughter liked to eat sweets such as candies and cakes when she was a child, which caused serious decay in her deciduous teeth. If not removed, it would also affect the rest of her teeth. Growth and development of teeth. She always thought that her child was in the stage of tooth replacement and that as long as new teeth were replaced, there would be no problem. However, she later discovered that small black spots and black holes appeared on her daughter's teeth, so she took her for a checkup. Who knew that the doctor said that the child's six-year-old tooth was broken, and it only grows once in a lifetime, and if it breaks, it will not be replaced. It is because of the mother's misunderstanding that the child loses healthy teeth and is likely to be toothless for life. The occurrence of malocclusion and facial development of children's teeth is very important to the parents' knowledge of daily oral health care.
Because of the support of teeth and alveolar bones, the normal shape of the dental arch and the normal occlusion relationship, the face, lips and cheeks will appear plump. And when people speak and smile, neat and white teeth can better show people's health and beauty. If too many teeth are missing, the lips and cheeks will lose support and become sunken, which will make the person's face look old and thin.

"Sixth instar tooth: refers to the first permanent molar that grows in children, that is, the first molar (commonly known as the big tooth). Each person has one upper, lower, left, and right teeth, a total of 4. Generally speaking, The lower teeth erupt around the age of six, so they are commonly called "sixth-year-old teeth." According to clinical data and literature reports, the "sixth-year-old teeth" have the highest rate of caries, and the rate of extraction and the incidence of other dental diseases are higher than those of other teeth. . Functionally speaking, this tooth is the most important molar, so special attention should be paid to the protection of the "sixth-year-old teeth":
1 The first molar to erupt is known as the first tooth. Brother, I mistakenly thought they were deciduous teeth and did not pay attention to them. The crowns are large and the teeth have many roots, which play an important role in oral chewing.
There is no "replacement service" for the six-year-old teeth once they fall out. No new teeth will grow, and dentures can only be used to repair missing teeth.
3 Sixth-year-old teeth are most prone to caries in the upper pits and fissures of permanent molars. There are many teeth, which are prone to impaction of food residues and retention of bacteria.
4 The teeth that are important landmarks for complete dentures are located on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the mouth. The central position of this area is the "backbone" that supports the dentition. In addition, it erupts earliest and has a stable position, which is equivalent to being the first to clarify the contact position of the upper and lower permanent teeth and the height of the maxillofacial bones. When the teeth continue to grow in the future, , will establish a mutual contact relationship one by one in the front and rear directions. Therefore, the sixth-year-old teeth are the key to determining the occlusal relationship. Will the second- and sixth-year-old teeth cause harm to the child?
1 Will it affect the beauty of the child’s facial contour? Make an impact and undertake and complete the task of chewing food for children.
2 It affects the growth of teeth. Whether the teeth grow neatly or not is all under the "command" of the sixth-instar teeth.
3 Affects children’s physical and mental health. How to prevent and treat third- and sixth-year-old teeth?
1. Choose a health-care toothbrush suitable for children (small head, soft bristles, grinding tips, rounded and not sharp), and use the correct brushing method (circle brushing method or Pasteur brushing method), Insist on brushing your teeth twice in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals. Let your children develop good dental care habits.
