When it comes to the need for tooth extraction for the baby, parents are distressed as if they are facing a big enemy.
Can you not have a tooth extracted? ”
How painful it is to extract a tooth, how can the child stand it? ”
Although it is possible to understand the feelings of parents, in some cases, the extraction of baby teeth is more conducive to improving the oral environment, eliminating potential risks, and is of great significance for inducing a sound permanent dentition occlusion.
In order to allow parents and friends to eliminate the resistance and fear of deciduous tooth extraction, and understand the relevant operations of deciduous tooth extraction, today we will popularize science about what situations need to be extracted from deciduous teeth?
Most of the crown of the tooth is destroyed, and the chewing and cutting functions are lost, causing periapical infection of the baby tooth.
When the tooth is loose, the periapical lesion is severe, the root resorption exceeds 1 2, or even the root is exposed, resulting in the formation of a traumatic ulcer in the local mucosa, or the X-ray shows that the inflammation has spread to the germ of the permanent tooth, the primary tooth should be extracted in order to reduce the impact on the permanent tooth germ.
Clinically, there have been cases of recurrent periapical inflammation of primary teeth leading to necrosis of permanent tooth germs. Therefore, when the gums of baby teeth repeatedly pustule pus, parents should not be negligent and should take the baby to the doctor for examination in time.
Trauma to a deciduous tooth should be removed when the crown root is broken, chipped, or plunged into the gums1 2 or more.
The root fracture of the crown of the deciduous tooth leads to the fracture of the crown below the gums, and the root canal and crown cannot be filled perfectly, and the effect is not good. After the root of the tooth is broken at the neck of the tooth, the broken crown is obviously loosened, and there is a risk of falling off, aspiration and even suffocation. Excessive intubation may compress the germ of the permanent tooth, at which point the injured baby tooth needs to be extracted.
Retention of baby teeth, permanent teeth have erupted or are close to eruption, and baby teeth have not yet fallen out, at this time the baby teeth need to be extracted.
This is very common in the early stages of tooth replacement, especially in the lower anterior region. The retained baby teeth should be extracted in time, otherwise it may affect the eruption of the permanent teeth, and the baby teeth are often loose, affecting the child's feeding.
Supernumerary teeth, which are extra teeth in addition to normal dentition, are commonly found in the upper anterior region. It often affects the location and direction of the eruption of permanent teeth and should be extracted at regular intervals.
Birth teeth and new teeth are relatively rare.
The normal eruption time of baby teeth is about 6 months to 2 and a half years after birth. If it erupts too early, a tooth erupts at birth, called a birth tooth, and a tooth erupts during the neonatal period to become a new tooth.
Early eruption of baby teeth is recommended if they are extremely loose, have a risk of loss and lead to aspiration. If the loosening is not severe, but breastfeeding often leads to repeated ulcers of tongue-tie and tongue-abdomen, it is recommended to switch to spoon feeding, and the ulcer is treated symptomatically.
If the ulcer is difficult to eat, it seriously affects feeding and causes nutritional disorders in infants, and it is recommended to remove it.
New teeth. The above are common indications for primary tooth extraction. Whether it is premature eruption, tooth decay and inflammation, trauma, extra teeth, etc., the extraction of baby teeth is to promote the healthy development and eruption of permanent teeth, establish a normal occlusion, and reduce the prevention of aspiration and swallowing.
