What are double rows of teeth? The harm of double rows of teeth

As the name suggests, double rows of teeth are two rows of teeth growing in the mouth. It usually occurs in children. So what are the dangers of double rows of teeth? How should people with double rows of teeth be treated? Let me introduce it to you below!

What are double rows of teeth?

Generally, when a child is 6 or 7 years old, the deciduous teeth have completed their mission and will fall out automatically, and then the permanent teeth will gradually erupt and become the child's lifelong good friends. However, in some children, the permanent teeth have already grown out, but the corresponding deciduous teeth are unwilling to "step down and give way to others", so the permanent teeth are forced to "compromise" from behind the deciduous teeth, thus forming two layers of teeth, one in front and one in the back.

Causes of double row of teeth

Children have good nutrition, and their tooth germs develop earlier than before, so permanent teeth often grow out before deciduous teeth fall out. At the same time, the food is too fine, the teeth do not get enough exercise, and the children's jaws are not sufficiently stimulated from chewing, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the roots of deciduous teeth, as well as their natural absorption and shedding. The permanent tooth germs move less into the mouth and cannot squeeze out the deciduous teeth, so they can only grow on the lingual side of the deciduous teeth, thus forming a "double row of teeth."

The dangers of double rows of teeth

1. Retention of deciduous teeth causes abnormal position and direction of new permanent teeth, or even failure to erupt, which will affect the child's jaw development, chewing effect, oral hygiene, and facial aesthetics.

2. It is not conducive to dental hygiene, and it is easy to form dental plaque and tartar, which will cause bad breath in children;

3. It may also induce oral inflammatory diseases such as caries, pulpitis, and apical periodontitis;

4. Local chronic inflammatory lesions containing bacterial microorganisms. The bacteria and their toxins are carried to some organs and tissues of the body through blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. When the body's resistance is reduced, the bacteria grow and multiply, and the bacterial toxins damage tissues and organs, causing these tissues and organs far away from the affected teeth to become diseased, causing a series of diseases in the body such as myocarditis, nephritis, endocarditis, eye diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and other problems.
