Can children take calcium tablets when their teeth are changing? What are good things for children to eat when their teeth are changing?

During the period of children's teeth replacement, parents will prepare some soft and mushy food for their babies to help them pass the teeth replacement stage smoothly. So, can children take calcium tablets during the period of teeth replacement? The following is a detailed introduction to this issue. What should babies eat during teeth replacement?

Can children take calcium tablets when their teeth are changing?

Of course you can eat it. Calcium supplementation is beneficial to the baby's development.

In fact, children need sufficient calcium during their growth, and calcium supplementation is even more important during the period when children replace their teeth. Because the main component of bones and teeth is calcium, calcium deficiency will affect their development. Sufficient calcium in the body can speed up the replacement of children's teeth and make the teeth grow fuller and neater. Therefore, children need calcium supplementation during the period when they replace their teeth.

The baby's teeth are sparse, unevenly arranged, and the gaps between teeth are large or even exceed the width of the teeth. These phenomena of poor tooth development are all caused by calcium deficiency. Therefore, calcium supplementation must be paid attention to during the teething and tooth replacement stages. The calcium supplement products on the market are roughly divided into organic calcium, inorganic calcium, and active calcium. Organic calcium has low irritation but low absorption and utilization rate. The utilization rate of inorganic calcium can reach 40%, which is relatively high, but the solubility is low and has a greater irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Active calcium is made from animal bones and shells, and is converted by high-temperature calcination and electrolysis. Although active calcium has a high degree of ionization and high solubility, its bioavailability is not high, the calcium content is low, and it has a great irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to use a new generation of casein calcium for children's calcium supplementation. The casein calcium in Yimolecular casein calcium tablets has a high calcium content, an absorption rate of more than 95%, and no gastrointestinal irritation. It is safe and can be taken for a long time! It is a biological high-tech calcium supplement product.

Foods that are good for calcium supplementation for children

Calcium orange juice: 8 ounces (about 226 grams) of orange juice contains the same amount of calcium (300 mg) as a glass of milk.

With so many flavors and varieties of yogurt to choose from, from yogurt served in cups to slurpable tubes, there's always one your child will love.

Chocolate and strawberry milk If your child doesn't want to drink pure white milk, you can add other flavors to his milk. Although these milks have more calories than regular milk, their calcium content is the same.

Cottage cheese can be eaten alone or mixed with your child's favorite fruit.

Children like to help you put things into the blender: put the milk and yogurt in first, then let the child choose a favorite fruit to add.

Broccoli and dark green leafy vegetables Try different leafy greens, such as kale, rutabaga, and mustard greens; try canned, fresh, and frozen varieties and add butter for flavor.

Cheese All types of cheese are rich in calcium. Choose those with 2% fat or low fat to reduce your intake of total fat and saturated fat.

Whether you choose pure soy milk, vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry flavored soy milk, you should first confirm whether it is a calcium-fortified product. Currently, soy milk sold on the market is generally fortified with calcium, and its calcium content is the same as that of ordinary milk.

Beans are not just green beans. We should eat more of all beans, such as kidney beans, pinto beans, kidney beans and chickpeas. Most of them contain a considerable amount of calcium.

Correct care for children's teeth replacement

1. Please pay attention to whether the deciduous teeth are retained or lost early. There is a certain time and order for deciduous teeth to fall out. If they should fall out but do not, it is called retained deciduous teeth. The consequence is often that the permanent teeth cannot erupt in the normal position. The most common situation is that the lower front permanent teeth grow on the inside of the deciduous teeth, and the upper front permanent teeth grow on the outside of the deciduous teeth, which looks like double teeth. What should I do in this case? You should take your child to the hospital as soon as possible to remove the retained deciduous teeth and make room for the permanent teeth to erupt.

If the deciduous teeth fall out before they should, it is called premature loss of deciduous teeth, which often causes the adjacent teeth on both sides to tilt toward the gap between the missing teeth, making the gap between the missing teeth smaller and causing the permanent teeth to erupt out of position due to insufficient space. At this time, a gap maintainer (customized by the hospital's dental department) should be placed in the gap between the deciduous teeth to prevent the teeth on both sides from tilting, so as to maintain the proper eruption position of the permanent teeth until the permanent teeth erupt.

2. Pay attention to whether the permanent teeth have difficulty erupting. If the deciduous teeth fall out prematurely, the child will be used to chewing and licking with the gums, which will become thick and tough, hindering the eruption of permanent teeth. Therefore, if the child has reached the age of tooth replacement and the permanent teeth have not grown, the child should be taken to the hospital for examination in time to obtain the help of the doctor. Calcium deficiency in children is also an important reason for the delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Parents should give their children calcium supplements in time.

3. Pay attention to the hygiene of children's oral cavity. During the period of tooth replacement, deciduous teeth and permanent teeth coexist. The permanent teeth have just erupted, especially the "six-year-old teeth" as the "key to occlusion". They are large in size and have many pits and grooves on the occlusal surface, which are easy to retain food residues. In addition, most children do not like to brush their teeth and like to eat sweets, so caries often occur. Once it occurs, it should be treated as soon as possible. At this time, the most important thing is to teach children to brush their teeth correctly.

4. Pay attention to correcting children's bad habits. During the period of tooth replacement, when the deciduous teeth are loose and about to fall out, children often lick the loose teeth with their tongues. This is a bad habit that will affect the normal eruption of permanent teeth and should be corrected in time to prevent malocclusion, that is, uneven teeth arrangement.

5. During the period of tooth replacement, children's teeth are replaced, the jaws are developing, and the bite relationship is gradually established. Sometimes there will be temporary misalignment of the bite, which can usually be adjusted and restored to normal during the development of the teeth. Some misalignment of the bite, such as the upper lip frenulum position is too low, resulting in a large gap between the upper front teeth, cannot be adjusted by itself, and will affect facial development. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, otherwise it will affect the child's appearance.
