Changing the lower incisors
The reason why the baby's teeth grow irregularly after changing teeth is actually related to many factors. For example, some children are influenced by congenital factors, but some children's parents' teeth are very beautiful, but because of some acquired factors, their teeth are very irregular. Let's take a look at it in detail.
1) Baby's bad habits
Some babies have crooked teeth after changing their teeth, which is very ugly. In fact, it is related to some bad behavior habits of children.
For example, some babies have the habit of biting their fingers since childhood, so if this bad behavior is maintained in the process of changing teeth, it will inevitably affect the growth of children's teeth, so it will appear crooked.
Take myself as an example. When I was a child, I liked to bite my lips with my teeth, so the upper part of my teeth became a world after changing my teeth, which greatly affected my face value.
2) Children's congenital influence
Then some congenital factors of children will also affect the growth of teeth. For example, if both parents of some children have irregular teeth, then this part of the gene is likely to be passed on to the child.
Then some babies, because the nutrition absorption is not particularly comprehensive when they are in their mothers' stomachs, have always had defects in their own development. So when it comes to long teeth, their teeth look ugly because of calcium deficiency.
3) the influence of tooth growth space
The reason why some babies' teeth look ugly may have nothing to do with the above two factors. However, because the new permanent teeth are bigger than the previous deciduous teeth, there is not enough room for the teeth to grow, which leads to the teeth growing very crowded and unsightly.
Then some babies, because the newly grown permanent teeth are too small, cause the gap between the teeth to be particularly large, and even when eating, there will be the performance of blocking teeth.
How to avoid baby's teeth from becoming crooked when changing teeth?
When the baby changes teeth, if the teeth grow crooked, it will greatly affect the face value. Although the teeth can be improved by correction in the later stage, the process is very painful and the cost is not small, so parents naturally hope that their children's teeth can be put in place in one step.
Therefore, when the baby changes teeth, there are many places to pay attention to, because this will affect the child's tooth growth. So what should parents do to make their children have beautiful permanent teeth?
① Pay attention to the care of teeth and mouth.
Many children have no awareness of oral care since childhood, and it is difficult for most children to brush their teeth in the morning and evening. Especially before going to bed at night, many children are reluctant to brush their teeth after eating.
But if there is food residue in the mouth, it is not good for the growth of permanent teeth. Because of the existence of food residue, the gap between teeth will become larger, and it is easy to have stones.
Then when the baby has this dental condition, it is easy to make the permanent teeth look ugly and make the teeth bigger. Therefore, parents must take good care of their children's teeth, and they should not let their children's permanent teeth grow ugly because of their laziness.
Parents need to supervise their children accordingly, for example, let their children brush their teeth twice in the morning and evening, and supervise the brushing time each time to teach their children to use the correct brushing method.
② Try not to let children touch teeth.
Because when replacing new teeth, the original deciduous teeth will become rickety, and the new permanent teeth may be different in height. So many children can't control themselves, even lick their teeth with their tongues, or just grow a little teeth.
However, this practice will not be conducive to the growth of permanent teeth, and even bacteria on children's hands will cause gum infection, leading to periodontal problems when children change their teeth.
Because in the process of changing teeth, the baby's external force may change the original growth direction of teeth, so if this happens for a long time, the teeth will become irregular.
Although some children have this habit for a long time, parents should try their best to guide their children and help them get rid of this bad habit.
For example, parents can divert their children's attention when they want to touch their teeth with their hands, or give them a grinding stick when they feel uncomfortable because of teething. These methods can prevent children from interfering with tooth growth and prevent permanent teeth from growing crooked.
③ Try to let children chew more food.
Many babies find it inconvenient to eat, because their teeth will look wobbly during tooth changing. Therefore, some parents will make the food very fine, and even let the children eat liquid food directly, so as to avoid the pain caused by the baby teeth that are about to fall out.
However, although this practice can help children avoid the pain caused by touching, it will greatly affect the growth of their permanent teeth. Because children don't chew food for a long time, the chewing ability of teeth will become worse, which makes the deciduous teeth that should have fallen off also extend the time of falling off. This greatly affects the growth of permanent teeth, resulting in uneven teeth after they grow out.
Even some children will have double rows of teeth, which is because the deciduous teeth fall off slowly and the permanent teeth have grown out, so this will happen, making the teeth grow unevenly.
What to eat during tooth changing to prevent crooked teeth?
It is very important to eat food when the baby changes teeth, because you can't just eat liquid food, you must chew more food.
During this period, if parents can choose some foods that are more suitable for their children when changing their teeth, they can often make their children's teeth grow better. Let's take parents to learn more about it.
1. Foods containing calcium
During the baby's tooth change, if there is calcium deficiency in the body, it is easy to make the teeth ugly. Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to remember to supplement calcium for their children during tooth replacement.
Therefore, parents can choose foods with relatively high calcium content for their children, such as lean meat and fish, which are all foods with relatively high calcium content. But children should also pay attention to their intake while eating these calcium-containing foods. If the intake is too large, it may make the child obese, which will not help the child's body shape and even bring other problems.
2. Children can chew food.
Because if the baby's teeth are not chewed and exercised well when changing teeth, the growth of the child's permanent teeth may become crooked. Therefore, parents must prepare some chewy food for their children, instead of making everything they eat soft and rotten.
Some parents think that children should not eat chicken feet and big bones during tooth changing, because it is not easy to chew. In fact, these things can be tried for children. Because it can not only make children supplement more nutrition, but also make their teeth chew better.
However, when giving children food that needs to be chewed, parents should also make corresponding adjustments according to the actual situation of their teeth. For example, the child's front teeth have just fallen off and have not yet grown permanent teeth, so it may not be particularly convenient to chew. Then parents can make corresponding adjustments to prevent children from hurting the roots that have not yet grown because of this problem.
3. Foods rich in vitamins
Then the child's tooth change does not mean that all teeth can fall off smoothly and naturally. Sometimes because the baby's deciduous teeth are delayed, it is necessary to pull out the deciduous teeth with the help of external force, which will inevitably cause trauma to the gums.
Therefore, if children want their teeth to grow better, it is actually very necessary for parents to supplement their children with foods with more vitamins at this time. Because this can speed up the healing of wounds on children's gums and make new teeth grow faster, parents can choose some foods with high vitamin content, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, which are better choices.
It can be said that teething is a major event, so parents must take good care of their children's teeth during tooth replacement according to their actual situation. If the child has any discomfort in the process of changing teeth, parents must take the child to the hospital in time to see what causes the child to feel uncomfortable.
