Should children's teeth be thrown away? What should children's teeth be filled with?

Children will start to replace their teeth at a certain age. Most of us parents will throw away our children's teeth after they replace their teeth, but in fact, the replaced teeth are also very useful. So we need to understand whether children's teeth should be thrown away? What should children's teeth be filled with?

From a scientific point of view, children's teeth that fall out should not be thrown away, because these teeth can save the lives of children themselves or others. 20 deciduous teeth are the first set of teeth of a person, and they usually start to fall out when children are 6 to 8 years old. Don't think that children's teeth that fall out are useless. In fact, they contain rich stem cells. This kind of stem cell is very useful in medicine and can help regenerate neurons and other tissues. Since humans discovered this kind of stem cell in teeth in 2000, it has been more than 10 years since the scientific community has determined that stem cells can eventually solve many intractable and aging diseases, and can also help prevent and treat some tumors. When children grow up, they can also enjoy the effects of stem cells. However, to properly handle children's teeth that fall out, you must pay attention not only to the time but also the method. All work must be completed within 48 hours after the tooth falls out, otherwise the stem cells will become ineffective. When a child's tooth falls out, it can be stored in a glass of milk.

If the child has a complete nutrition since childhood, you can pay attention to the usual diet at this time, eat more fish, beans, meat, and foods containing vitamins B and C. If the child is malnourished, then you should pay special attention at this time. In addition to adding nutrition to the usual diet, you should also give the child some children's milk powder. The various nutrients in milk powder are more comprehensive and are more conducive to children's absorption than pure milk. Some experts believe that children should drink milk powder at least until they are 7 years old. A certain amount of calcium supplements should be appropriately supplemented. The skeleton grows and develops rapidly during childhood, and calcium deficiency will cause serious consequences. Children need a lot of calcium when they change their teeth. If calcium absorption is insufficient, it will cause uneven teeth and teeth are prone to caries. In general, food supplements are still recommended. For example, shrimp skin, kelp, and fish are all very good calcium supplements. You can also add some calcium supplements when necessary. Most children start to change their teeth at the age of five or six, and some children delay losing their first deciduous teeth until the age of seven. There is a certain time and order for deciduous teeth to fall off. Deciduous teeth that should fall off but don't fall off are called retained deciduous teeth.

1. Pay attention to the growth of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth and visit the dentist regularly to find problems and solve them early. If you find that permanent teeth grow next to deciduous teeth, but the deciduous teeth have not fallen out, forming a double row of teeth, you should take your child to the hospital as soon as possible to remove the retained deciduous teeth; if the gap between the upper incisors is too large, deformed teeth grow from the position of the upper incisors, or an incisor grows from an abnormal position, this means that there may be multiple teeth in one place, and you should go to the hospital for treatment.

2. Children brush their teeth. Encourage children to brush their teeth every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, to prevent tooth decay. Children should use children's special toothpaste and toothbrush, brush their teeth correctly, and take about two to three minutes. In addition to brushing teeth, it is best for children to rinse their mouths after eating to maintain oral hygiene.

3. Eat more foods with a certain degree of hardness. During the period of tooth replacement, children should eat more foods with high fiber content and a certain degree of hardness, such as beef, carrots, celery, corn, etc., to stimulate the deciduous teeth and promote their timely shedding. On the other hand, chewing exercises can promote the development of the gums, jaws and facial bones. In addition, let children eat more hard foods, foods with less sucrose, and less snacks.

If the new teeth have grown out and the old teeth have not fallen out, it is recommended to extract them in order to make the new teeth grow better. Every child will experience the phenomenon of old teeth falling out and new teeth growing when they reach the appropriate age. This is a natural law. If the new teeth have broken through the gums and the old teeth are still in place, it is necessary to help the child extract the old teeth so that the new teeth can grow normally. The hygiene of the entire oral cavity must be ensured during the tooth growth process. Do not let children move their teeth with their hands, which will not only bring bacteria, but also affect the growth of teeth.
