"In the Name of Family": What can I do to save you, your pointed front teeth

Recent

"In the Name of Family", which is always on the hot search every time it is updated, has a great reputation

The three siblings in the play are not related by blood, but they protect each other "in the name of family"

Full of warmth and love

I believe many viewers have watched it since the first episode.

I was attracted by the little actor who played the three siblings in their childhood.

As soon as the childhood little Jianjian appeared, she attracted the attention of Xiao Lingxiao

In my opinion

At this time, Xiao Lingxiao had not yet shown any signs of emotion.

I was definitely attracted by the small pointed "outward-facing" front teeth.

Many parents have reported that their children's teeth have also turned outward like the small pointed front teeth in the drama. What is going on? Is it a tooth deformity? Do they need to get orthodontic treatment?

About the "outward-facing" front teeth

Children's front teeth are in the shape of "outward eight characters", which is generally the period of tooth replacement. Because the new permanent teeth have erupted, the two permanent tooth buds next to them are located right next to the roots of the front teeth, which exerts pressure on the roots of the front teeth, causing the crowns to tilt to the side, so the teeth appear to be outward, like "outward eight characters".

Are “outward-facing” front teeth deformed? Do they need to be corrected?

Parents, please rest assured that although the "outward-facing" front teeth look like deformed teeth, they are not deformed teeth, but only a temporary phenomenon. As the adjacent permanent tooth germs erupt, this temporary "outward-facing" front teeth will mostly be corrected naturally, without intervention, just observation.

Parents do not need to worry about children's teeth replacement period, such as the "outward-facing" front teeth. However, there are some phenomena in the tooth replacement stage that parents need to be vigilant about.

1. Tooth replacement time

Why is there such a big difference in the age at which children change their teeth: some children change their teeth at the age of 4 and some children change their teeth at the age of 7?

The age at which babies start to change their teeth varies from baby to baby. The physiological shedding of the first deciduous tooth usually occurs around the age of 6, but it can also occur as early as 4 years old, or as late as 7 to 8 years old. Mothers do not need to worry too much.

However, if your baby is over 7 years old and has not lost any teeth, you should take your baby to a regular dental institution to see a dentist.

2. Double row teeth

Why do permanent teeth grow out but deciduous teeth don’t fall out?

Generally, when a child is about 6 years old, the deciduous teeth will fall out automatically, and then the permanent teeth will gradually erupt. However, for some children, the permanent teeth have grown out, but the corresponding deciduous teeth have not fallen out. The permanent teeth are forced to grow from behind the deciduous teeth, forming two layers of teeth, one in front and one behind. This situation is called double row of teeth.

When encountering "double rows of teeth" formed by retained deciduous teeth, parents should take their children to a regular dental institution for examination and removal of the retained deciduous teeth as soon as possible to make room for the development of permanent teeth, so as to avoid phenomena such as uneven permanent teeth and crossbite.

3. The new teeth are particularly large

Why are new permanent teeth so big?

During the tooth replacement period, the baby teeth fall out gradually and the new teeth gradually erupt. It is normal for the new permanent teeth to be larger than the baby teeth. Does it look weird? In fact, it is because the child's body has not yet developed to the adult's appearance.

As the child grows taller, the facial bones develop, and the deciduous teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, the new teeth will no longer appear large and out of place.

4. Permanent teeth are very yellow

Why are new permanent teeth so yellow?

This is a normal phenomenon. Permanent teeth are generally slightly yellower than deciduous teeth. This is due to the different characteristics of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth: the enamel of deciduous teeth is less mineralized, so it appears opaque white; while the enamel of permanent teeth is better mineralized and more transparent, and the inner yellowish dentin is easier to show through, so it appears slightly yellow.

However, if the tooth discoloration is more serious, you should go to a regular dental institution and have a dentist identify it.

5. Permanent teeth have serrations

There are serrations on my newly replaced permanent teeth. What’s going on?

It is normal for newly erupted front teeth to have serrations.

This is the result of normal tooth development: the tooth is composed of several developmental tubercles, not a flat plate. After a period of tooth eruption, the serrations will be naturally smoothed. Everyone's teeth have such a smoothing process.
