Gingival protrusion during tooth replacement in children is a sign of malocclusion, which may be related to replacement disorder, overdevelopment of the alveolar bone, and severe cases requiring early intervention.
Various malocclusions and gingival protrusion occur during tooth replacement in children, which may be related to teething disorders. Milk teeth are not lost in time, permanent teeth erupt labially, and the position of the gingiva is displaced labially. Once the permanent teeth erupt, the retained milk teeth need to be extracted promptly.
Overdevelopment of the alveolar bone can also lead to anterior gingival protrusion, a mismatch between the development of the teeth and the development of the jawbone, where the amount of teeth is greater than the amount of bone, and the teeth need to be tilted labially to gain clearance. This condition is a result of underdevelopment of the jawbone. It can be stimulated by nibbling more hard things during the tooth replacement period, and early intervention is needed in severe cases.
Gum protrusion during tooth replacement in children is related to retained milk teeth or underdevelopment of the jawbone, and can be treated in the dentist.
