What can't you eat when your baby has teeth?
1.Tetracycline
Tetracyclines can cause yellowing and blackening of the teeth. Women who are pregnant and breastfeeding, and babies under the age of eight, may have tetracyclines if they use tetracyclines, especially for babies before the age of 5.
2. Excessive water content
The permanent teeth are fully developed before the age of 6-7. Generally, it is suitable to maintain the fluorine content in drinking water between 0.5 and 1 ppm. This concentration can prevent sputum and prevent chronic fluorosis. If you drink too much fluoride-containing water for a long time during mineral development, it will cause macular teeth (medicine called fluoro-glaze or dental fluorosis), and even serious chronic fluorosis.
3. Sweets, carbonated drinks
Sweets are easily attached to the tooth surface and the teeth, which will ferment and produce acid and form dental caries. Carbonated drinks are also prone to tooth decay and affect appetite, so avoid eating snacks, candy, and drinks before your baby eats, especially before going to bed.
What food is good for your baby's long teeth?
1. 2 teeth period
The baby usually grows in a pair of milk in the jaws at 4-8 months. The baby in this period likes to put whatever he gets into his mouth. Sometimes he will imitate adults to chew chopsticks and spoons.
Parents can try to feed the baby with semi-solid foods such as mashed potatoes, egg yolks, porridge, etc. during this period so that the baby begins to overdose from a watery to a mushy diet. Let the baby realize that his food changes, and lay the foundation for the baby to exercise and chew solid food with teeth.
2. 4 teeth period
In 8 to 12 months, the baby's upper jaw will grow two more teeth and more. At this time, the baby's nutritional needs are getting bigger and bigger, parents should give the baby more choices, such as minced meat, tomatoes, tofu and so on.
However, if the baby's chewing ability is not good enough, the digestive function is weak, and the blocky food is not chewed into the digestive system through the teeth, and the nutrients are not easily absorbed. Therefore, during this period, parents should consciously use solid food to guide their children to practice chewing.
3. 6~8 teeth period
At 9 to 13 months, the lateral incisors of the upper jaw erupt, and the lateral incisors of the lower jaw will also erupt at 10 to 16 months. During this period, the baby gradually adapts to solid food, and the digestive function of the stomach gradually matures. Parents can give the baby slightly hard food such as steamed eggs and vegetables.
4. 8~12 teeth period
At 13 to 19 months, the baby will develop the first molar (large tooth). Because of the deciduous teeth, the baby is more capable of chewing things. At this time, the baby will be very interested in the food, and the mouth will be full. The mother should encourage the baby, which will also affect the baby's character formation. This period can increase solid foods such as bread, soft rice, vegetables, meat and so on.
5. 12~20 teeth period
During the next 16-20 months, the baby gradually grew 20 deciduous teeth, and all the deciduous teeth erupted. At this time, the baby can eat by himself, allowing the child to eat noodles, rice, and soybeans.
6. Permanent tooth eruption
When the child is 6-7 years old, the original deciduous teeth gradually fall off, and the constant buds begin to grow. As your child grows up, you should eat more chewy foods such as peanuts, sugar cane, jellyfish, etc., to stimulate the deciduous teeth to fall off on time. After the child has developed the front and back molars, you can eat some food such as celery, corn, and apples properly, so that the child can successfully complete the tooth change and have a healthy and neat tooth.
The reason why children have too long teeth
1. Congenital inheritance
The main reason for the slower teeth in children is a family inheritance, family history, ethnicity, etc., and even gender. There are also differences in the time of the girl's teeth from the study report.
2. The acquired environment
In addition to congenital genetic factors, the acquired environment may also indirectly cause young children to have slow teething. For example, in premature infants, his long teeth time must first deduct the time of premature birth, in order to get a more accurate conclusion.
3. Systemic diseases
Down syndrome, abnormal secretion of the pituitary gland, and ectodermal dysplasia syndrome have an effect on the long-term speed of children. It is necessary to check the blood to determine the real cause.
4. Trauma and infection
If the child's teeth are struck by an external force, there may be different heights. The impact will cause the ligaments connected to the teeth to be necrotic, replaced by new bones (bone sticking). From the surface, only one tooth grows slowly, actually, It will affect the germination of permanent teeth.
Common abnormalities in children's long teeth
1. Early deciduous teeth - birth teeth and new teeth
When a child is born, there is a tooth sprouting, called "born tooth." Within one month after birth, there will be deciduous teeth, called "new teeth." Birth teeth and new teeth are more common in incisors in the jaw. Most of these teeth have no roots, some have short roots and some are extremely loose. In order to prevent the birth tooth and the new tooth from being inhaled by the baby when it is detached, it is often removed.
2. The deciduous teeth erupt too late
In the first year after birth, the baby erupts the first deciduous tooth, which is within the normal range. However, if it is more than 1 year old, even after 1 year and a half, the first deciduous teeth have not erupted. More than 3 years old deciduous teeth have not yet erupted, which means that the deciduous teeth are late.
3. Eruptive gingivitis
This is temporary gingivitis that is common in the eruption of deciduous teeth. The gingival tissue along the crown is congested, but there is no obvious self-consciousness, and it gradually heals with the eruption of the teeth. Most of the eruptive gingivitis is caused by the abnormal feeling of the gums when the teeth erupt, and the child touches or bites with fingers, toys, etc., causing the gingival mucosa to be scratched.
4. Eruptive cyst
Before the eruption of the deciduous teeth, the local swelling of the mucosa covering the teeth is sometimes seen in the clinic. It is blue-purple, contains tissue fluid and blood, and is called the eruptive cyst. Generally, it does not affect the eruption of the teeth. If the eruption is blocked, it is necessary to remove part of the tissue to expose the crown.
In the process of eruption of deciduous teeth, if there are some abnormal conditions, parents are advised to consult clinical specialties.
