Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The second pair of molars in my baby's lower jaw have all grown with a split in the middle!! I want to ask if they will still be the same after the milk teeth are replaced? How should I handle it? Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
It's recommended that you wait and see for now. Usually, things will improve when the child's teeth start to fall out. If not, orthodontic treatment can be considered later. In the meantime, it's a good idea to give the child more hard and durable foods, such as ribs, beef jerky, buns, rice crusts, dried steamed buns, apples, etc. Once the child is around 2 years old and their primary teeth have mostly erupted, they should have regular check-ups at a professional dental clinic to prevent cavities, ensure the proper eruption of permanent teeth, and provide early intervention treatment for any abnormal jaw development.
