Nowadays, the society is increasingly competitive and parents want their children to win at the starting line, so all kinds of interest classes, tutorial classes and so on take up most of the children’s time off. Many children say that holidays are even busier than school! However, parents often ignore one thing when they focus on their children’s learning and interests, and that is the psychology of the child. A young girl in her first year recently told me, “Dr. Lee, I actually wanted to come to orthodontics early on, but my parents were worried that orthodontics would delay my time, and they were busy themselves, so they kept putting it off until now.” I asked her, at such a young age, why would she have such an idea? She said that because of her “whistling teeth”, her classmates had given her so many nicknames, which were so ugly, and she felt so sad when they called her by her nickname to her face. Now in middle school, her classmates still give her nicknames, but they are still subtle, at least not to her face. I can understand her inferiority complex and helplessness when I listen to her story! I can’t help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. In fact, parents should care more about their children’s mental health while paying attention to their academic performance! Bad teeth will affect the aesthetics and to a certain extent will cause a lot of psychological damage to the child. So, pay attention to dental health from a young age, but also so that children do not lose at the starting line!
