Slow growth of baby teeth may be due to physiological reasons or cavities, genetic factors and other reasons.
1. Physiological reasons, due to the existence of individual differences between the baby, will cause the teeth eruption time slightly different, usually within the normal range of about half a year difference.
At the same time, the baby teeth growth rate is also associated with chewing habits, chewing properly after the baby’s teeth will help promote jawbone development and tooth eruption and replacement.
2. Cavities, if the baby’s milk teeth have cavities and not dealt with, may have some impact on the replacement of permanent teeth, if the milk teeth have large cavities, may cause the corresponding parts of the permanent teeth growth and replacement slower.
3. Genetic factors, baby teeth growth rate will also be affected by heredity, usually about half a year difference with the normal range without too much tension, if the difference is longer, it is recommended to take the baby to the stomatology department in time for examination.
