Milk, that is, temporary, teeth function in children until they are replaced by permanent ones. Temporary teeth repeat the structure of the permanent ones, only their size is slightly smaller, the roots are shorter, and the enamel has a bluish tint. During this period, the teeth need careful care.
Necessary
- - Dentist consultation;
- - toothpaste containing fluoride, calcium.
Instructions
Step 1
When permanent teeth begin to form and grow, the roots of milk roots gradually dissolve. The process starts from the upper part of the roots, then captures the rest of the areas - so the tooth begins to swing in the gum. Gradually growing permanent teeth are replacing milk ones. Each of them has its own time for root resorption. When this process is completed, the grown tooth pushes the milk out of the hole and takes its place.
Step 2
In most children, teeth in the lower jaw fall out a little earlier than in the upper one. The central incisors are usually the first to fall out - this happens around the age of four to five, sometimes later. They can re-grow in about seven or eight years. The lateral incisors fall out at six to eight years old, at the same age the first molars grow. At ten to twelve years, the canines fall out, the premolars grow. Second molars can grow at twelve years of age or even later.
Step 3
Don't worry if your child's teeth change is a bit delayed. Teething is a serious process associated with the general development of the child's body. Diseases transferred in childhood can lead to changes in the generally accepted terms. To more accurately determine which teeth will soon fall out in a child, an X-ray diagnostic study can be performed. The rudiments of the permanent teeth make it possible to roughly establish the time when they will erupt.
