Parents actually don't need to worry too much about their children's "big flat teeth". Because after the milk teeth are replaced, the permanent teeth that grow out are very large in size. Recently, Taotao finally ended his days of "leaking wind" and grew two front teeth that looked proper. But his mother was a bit worried when she looked at his front teeth: the originally delicate boy had grown two "big flat teeth", which were really ugly. Should she let the doctor help correct them?
Experts from Suzhou Dongwu Stomatology Department introduced that parents actually don't need to worry too much about their children's "big flat teeth". Because after the replacement of teeth, the permanent teeth that grow out are very large in size. These teeth grown according to adult dimensions are a bit larger compared to the facial bones that have not yet fully developed, making them look less harmonious. However, as the child grows up, the skull develops more maturely, and they will gradually become coordinated.
In addition, the edges of the newly grown front teeth may be a bit uneven, which is one of the reasons for the unattractive appearance. This is because the newly grown teeth have not yet been "polished" by food. After a period of time, they will gradually become smooth.
For children who have just changed their teeth, protecting the newly grown permanent teeth is the most important thing. Because these new teeth will accompany a person for life, and if they decay prematurely, it will affect a series of functions such as chewing and digestion. The newly emerged permanent teeth have low calcification levels and can easily retain food residues, forming cavities. Age 7 is the peak age for cavities, and doctors remind children and parents to pay special attention to protecting the newly emerged permanent teeth.
