Late tooth replacement in children may be a normal physiological phenomenon due to different physical conditions, or it may be caused by improper complementary foods, malnutrition, missing milk teeth and other reasons.

Normal physiological phenomenon: Due to the different physique of each child, the time of tooth replacement may also vary, especially if there is a family history of late tooth replacement in the family, which may also cause the child to change teeth late. If the child’s growth and development, weight gain is normal, and there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, it is usually a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.
2. Improper complementary foods: If the child often eats soft liquid food or semi-fluid food, it may have a certain impact on the eruption of permanent teeth and cause late tooth replacement. It is recommended to eat foods that can grind the teeth, such as corn, apples, etc., to promote the shedding of milk teeth and the eruption of permanent teeth.
3. Malnutrition: If the child is malnourished for a long time or lacks trace elements such as calcium and vitamins, it may cause slow growth and development of teeth, and may also lead to late tooth replacement.
4. Missing milk teeth: If there are milk teeth damage, caries and other conditions, if not dealt with for a long time, it may cause early loss of milk teeth, apical inflammation, etc., which will lead to the emergence of the child’s permanent teeth late.
It is recommended to pay attention to dental care, super dental oral hygiene, brushing on time, and at the same time pay attention to the observation of the teeth, if the teeth can not erupt for a long time, should be timely medical treatment.
