If you know the factors affecting the development of baby teeth, you can “save for a rainy day”, I hope you master the following knowledge must be timely to correct the baby’s bad habits. 4 factors affecting the baby’s healthy teeth Factor 1: the mother’s teeth during pregnancy is not good If the mother-to-be is malnourished during pregnancy, the lack of calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals necessary for fetal growth and development, as well as vitamins B, C, D and so on, may cause fetal growth or developmental anomalies. During pregnancy, trauma to the mother or exposure to high doses of radiation can also cause abnormal fetal development. Fetal organ development occurs throughout the pregnancy. Abnormalities in body development may manifest in the teeth, causing congenital oral defects. Diseases in the early stages of pregnancy, such as rubella, poisoning, endocrine dysfunction and other infectious diseases can also affect the degree of calcification of fetal bone, tooth eruption, resorption of the roots of the milk teeth, and may even lead to underdevelopment of the teeth or malformation of the teeth. Factor 2: Some diseases also have an impact on teeth The health of the baby is the basis for the development of craniofacial bones and teeth. Many diseases affect the growth and development of the craniofacial and general body while affecting physical health. Such as: 1, childhood with high fever rash of acute infectious diseases, such as measles, chicken pox, scarlet fever, etc., can make the formation of dental tissue development is impaired, affecting the shape of future teeth. 2.Dyspepsia, gastroenteritis, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis and other chronic long-term consumptive diseases, which seriously damage the nutritional status of the organism, and thus can impede the growth and development of the upper and lower jaws, resulting in malocclusion and malformation of the teeth and bones, such as premaxillary protrusion, mandibular protrusion, maxillary retrusion, mandibular retraction and so on. 3, rickets is due to infants and young children by insufficient sunlight exposure, vitamin D deficiency and food calcium and phosphorus intake is out of balance, calcium can not be normally deposited in the growing part of the bone, so that deformation occurs. Factor 3: the baby has been using the mouth to whistle Normal nasal whistle function, can ensure the normal development of the maxillofacial. Chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, turbinate hypertrophy, nasal septum congestion, hypertrophy of the proliferative glands and nasal tumors, etc., so that the nasal cavity partially or completely blocked, affecting the normal nasal whistling, forcing babies to whistle with their mouths, but also can cause developmental deformities of the maxillofacial region, manifested in the narrowing of the maxillary arches, crowding or protrusion of the front teeth, the lower jaw protrudes forward. If you find that your baby is always whistling through his mouth, whether in normal times or when he sleeps, make sure you take him to the hospital for a checkup. Factor 4: the child’s diet exercise is not enough If the child eats too soft food, lack of sufficient hardness, their chewing function can not be fully exerted, the lack of normal physiological stimulation of the development of the dental and jaw system will cause dental arch hypoplasia, tooth crowding malocclusion deformity. Therefore, children’s food, in addition to high protein, high vitamin, should emphasize the physical properties of food rich in fiber, certain roughness and chewability. Let children eat food with a certain hardness, enhance their chewing function, thereby promoting the normal development of teeth, so that the prevalence of dental caries or periodontal disease is reduced. Developing good chewing function is one of the most natural and effective ways to prevent malocclusion. Highly refined, soft and sticky foods should be avoided.
