What to do when your kid has loose baby teeth?
by Brightoneast Dentalclinic Family Dentist ClinicThe process of replacement of baby
teeth with permanent teeth is gradual and can occur over a period of few years.
The baby teeth begin to loosen up and come out as they are pushed by permanent
teeth that are to last forever. This process can be frightening for some kids
while some just get excited about the fairytales associated with the same.
If your child’s baby teeth have started
to loosen up and wiggle, it is a sign of growth. The average age for baby tenth
to loosen and eruption of permanent teeth is around six years. The molars are
the first adult teeth to erupt and they actually appear without replacing any
baby teeth which are not present in that part. Gradually the teeth towards the
font of the mouth begin to loosen up, come out and are replaced by permanent
teeth.
What parents need to do when the
child’s baby teeth loosen?
As the entire process of loosening of
baby teeth and appearing of permanent teeth is natural, there is no need to
panic or worry. When the tooth is wiggling, it will eventually come out
naturally without you trying to pull it out of your kid’s mouth.
It has been observed across social media
that parents are posting videos of their stunts involving using strings and
doors to pull out baby teeth of their kids. The children’s dentist disapproves
any such acts and it must be avoided as it risks tooth related injuries. The
loose baby teeth must be allowed to naturally pop put.
While the entire natural process is pain-free,
it can be irritating for certain children to have something wiggly inside their
mouth. If the children are too scared of having this constantly wiggling tooth
in the mouth, you can try gently squeezing the loose tooth with a clean fabric
or tissue. In any case, it is better to allow the baby teeth to naturally pop
out and be replaced by adult teeth.
Try the natural way
While it may sound irritating for the
kid, the best a parent can do for a child’s loose tooth is nothing. What is
recommended is that the parent must ensure ideal kids dental care so that the
permanent teeth that are going to appear will be safe form any damage and
cavities. At Brighton East Dental Clinic, the expert children’s dentist will
offer all the consultation and care that will ensure the most amazing smile for
your children.
