Just because kids will replace their baby teeth with primary teeth, does not give parents the right to ignore early tooth decay. If not treated well, the affected tooth will cause gum pain that eventually increases the toothache. Taking in consideration that tooth decay threatens the larynx, besides that these bacteria causes difficulty in digestion. We should also pay attention that tooth extraction should be done in a specified period determined by the dentist, because child's jawbone is formed while still replacing teeth and any negligence will result in deformed new teeth, and leads to difficulty in champing and chewing food. To know more about how to deal with the problems of children's teeth, Dr. Tala the Pediatric Dentist at the Dental Center, International Medical Center will tell us more.. Firstly, we would like to know at what age baby start teething, and what are the symptoms that precede it? The vast majority of babies sprout their first teeth when they're around 6 months of age; however the common symptoms that precede teething are fussiness, diarrhea, and fever. I recommend parents to give the child something to chew on, such as a firm rubber teething ring or a cold washcloth which is available in pharmacies. Is there a relationship between the late appearance of baby teeth and an unhealthy diet? Nutrition plays an important role in the development of the child's teeth. Poor nutrition can also cause late teething. In this case, delayed teething will only be one of many signs of malnourishment in the baby. Allergy to milk and Vitamin or mineral deficiency, especially vitamin D and calcium, can lead to late teething. At what age permanent teeth appear? The first permanent tooth usually appears in the mouth at around six years of age; however the loss of milk teeth is linked to age in which the teeth emerge. Usually Girls tend to get teeth earlier than boys (between the ages of five and half and six years) however changing teeth is a process that is also linked to the overall body growth. At which stage breastfeeding remains necessary for teeth development? Milk remains necessary for children throughout the stage at which the teeth are formed, which extends from 12 years to 18 years in which they start getting wisdom teeth. Besides, tooth decay increases the acids in the mouth thus the constant intake of milk (breastfeeding) which contains minerals and vitamins helps modifying the ratio of acids. Why permanent teeth appear slanted in some cases? The displacement of permanent teeth is usually occurs as a result of neglecting decay in baby teeth. Children as young as four years old could get a removable retainer-like appliance that helps guide the growth of the arches in the mouth; so that they can better accommodate the teeth size. Sometimes, a child inherits her father's larger teeth and her mother's smaller jaw; which may cause some trouble. Many children break their teeth when playing violently, is it necessary to repair? If possible, you should contact the dentist as soon as possible to arrange for an examination to diagnose the problem and cause and determine the appropriate treatment. Significant delay of weeks, months and years could certainly jeopardize the tooth and even your health. The tooth may decay, abscess, fracture more and the gum may grow over the edges of the tooth, further increasing the challenge of restoring the tooth. Even better than being in this situation is to have regular examinations and care, your dentist may be able to tell you about teeth that are weak and require more secure restorations to help avoid fracture. Why children's teeth worn out by time? some kids experience physical or psychological problem that causes them psychological pressure, so they are putting pressure on their teeth during the night, when sleep leads to erosion of teeth with the passage of time and this issue affects utter the child and the status of the lower jaw, and processed to be detected is why first where that treatment is linked with the seriousness of the situation.
