Teeth İn Babies And Children: Problems And Suggestions Regarding The Teeth Of Babies And Children
ORAL CARE FOR BABIES:
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Dental Association (ADA) and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends the age of 1 to start oral maintenance.
VISITING THE DENTIST FOR THE FIRST TIME:
The first visit should always be positive and fun. Your dentist should be notified that your child will arrive. Babysitting while you get your teeth done may create many dangerous results. If there are items of unnecessary fear, such as injectors, the consequences will be tough to handle.
The first session is usually all about meet-and-greet and being informed on how to brush the teeth of your children. Pinning down and removing a tooth from children who are in pain will surely make them into skittish individuals.
DECAYS CAUSED BY A FEEDING BOTTLE (EARLY CHILDHOOD DECAYS)
One of the causes of tooth decay in young children is feeding them with a bottle of baby food that you have sweetened with sugary milk, or biscuits.
The food residues that remain inside their mouths throughout the night cause severe tooth decays.
RED FLAGS FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S TEETH
TOOTHACHES: Are there food residues around the aching tooth? Check and brush when appropriate. Does cold or hot water cause toothaches? Check if applicable. Sometimes, food residues in between teeth may cause toothaches. When that is the case, use a dental floss to remove the residues. You should see a dentist immediately, without using irritant methods, such as putting alcohol or aspirin on their gums.
CUTS ON TONGUE, LIPS OR CHEEKS DUE TO HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS:Apply an ice pack onto the wound. If there is blood, use a gauze bandage to compress the wound. If you fail to keep the bleeding under control, visit a doctor immediately.
AFTER A HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENT, if a permanent tooth has popped off, grab the tooth by the crown and wash it with either clean water, or a physiological saline solution if you can find the tooth. Make the patient fill a small cup with spit and place the tooth into their spit, then refer to your doctor immediately. If you cannot have a cup filled with spit, fill the cup with water and place the tooth into the cup of milk.
A popped-off tooth in BABIES following a fall: This frequently happens with babies’ incisors. As these teeth are impossible to place back into their rooms in a baby’s mouth, there is no need for an emergency.
A BREAKAGE ON A PERMANENT TOOTH AFTER A FALL is an emergency. If you can find the broken piece, place the piece into spit or milk and visit your dentist, like you would for a permanent tooth. Your dentist may put it back onto your tooth if appropriate.
BREAKAGES that cover JAWS following a TRAUMA or a CAR ACCIDENTrequire an immediate hospital visit.
THUMB SUCKING
Sucking is a natural reflex. Babies and little children generally suck on pacifiers or their thumbs. Thumb sucking relaxes children as they drift into sleep. During the eruption of permanent teeth, thumb sucking may interfere with the harmony between a mouth and its teeth. For this reason, this habit has to be extinguished via the precautions that are taken between the ages of 2 and 4.
SOME SUGGESTIONS
You may distract your child.
You may ask for your dentist’s help.
You may wrap a sock over the thumb, or paint it with some nail polish with a foul taste.
You may come up with other actions for transitioning into sleep, such as bedtime reading.
WARNING: DO NOT ACT OPPRESIVE.
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
When should your child start an orthodontic treatment?
An early step taken when a bad dental occlusion, or a bad relationship between jaws are the case, reduces the future requirements for orthodontic treatments.
PROTECTIVE TREATMENTS
- Extinguishing habits like palate sucking
- Compensating for the early losses of baby teeth via placeholders
- In the case of a narrow jawline,
- Narrow jawline development (on the upper jaw)
- An early loss of the first big molar tooth
- Sleeping with an open mouth due to difficulties in nasal respiration (such as adenoids)
- Through therapies that obstruct the over-development of the lower jaw.
MIXED TEETHING PERIOD
This term covers the period since the eruption of teeth at the age of 6, until reaching the age of 12. This is an excellent period to start an orthodontic therapy.
TEENAGER PERIOD
This term covers the period in which permanent teeth have erupted completely and the occlusion is settled. You may begin orthodontic treatments in this period as well.
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Dental Association (ADA) and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends the age of 1 to start oral maintenance.
