Medical Video: How Teeth Grow
Almost all parents feel happy and excited when the little one grows teeth. These small teeth will slowly date one by one, to be replaced with permanent teeth until they mature. When did the child's milk teeth start to dislodge, and would it all come off?
Will the milk teeth be all dated and replaced with permanent teeth?
Children's first milk teeth will begin to grow at the age of 8-12 months, and continue to grow one by one until there are 20 pieces. Milk teeth will be dislodged one by one, starting from series milk teeth and followed by canines to molars. All these little teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth when the time comes.
Twenty adult teeth will grow as the child grows to replace 12 old milk teeth. The remaining twelve other adult teeth will grow gradually. Thus, the total number of permanent teeth for the child he will have when he grows up will be 32.
When do children's teeth start?
In general, milk teeth will start dislodging at the age of 6-7 years, starting with the incisors lined up at the front of the upper and lower jaws. You can see incisors clearly when the child smiles broadly. Canine milk teeth follow dislodged a year later, at the age of 7-8 years. Finally, the milk molars are dislodged when your child is 9-12 years old.However, not all children experience dislodged teeth at the same age. This is a normal thing according to each child's growth and development.
Teeth that will be dislodged or already shaken should be removed by the dentist with the correct procedure, especially if you do not dare to pull them out.
What should be done when the baby's milk teeth come off?
When permanent teeth grow, the size will certainly be greater than the previous teeth. When your baby's teeth are dated, there may be some discomfort and even the pain he feels. To relieve the pain, you can give painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. However, if the pain does not go away, then you should take your child to the dentist.
Whereas if the child's teeth have shaken but have not come off, it should not be forced or pulled apart from the gums. Wait a while until the teeth are on their own. This will prevent severe bleeding or pain because the teeth are forced off.
Since your child has teeth, even if it's only milk teeth, teach children to brush their teeth regularly twice a day. This is so that children always maintain dental hygiene so that they avoid tooth decay. Remember, damaged permanent teeth will not be replaced for life.
