Patient's question:
My son is almost eight years old, but he hasn't lost a single tooth yet. Here is his past treatment history and its effectiveness: He has never been treated. What help do you want to get: I want to know what element he is missing, whether it's something else, and get a diagnosis.Doctor's answer:
Generally, permanent incisors erupt between the ages of 6-10. Delayed eruption of permanent teeth:1. Local factors: Related to deciduous tooth inflammation, early loss, and retention. Commonly, delayed eruption occurs in upper central incisors, as the upper deciduous incisors may fall out prematurely, and habits like chewing on the gums can cause local gingival keratinization, fibrosis, toughness, and hypertrophy, making tooth eruption difficult. Obstructions such as supernumerary teeth, dentigerous cysts, and tumors, as well as abnormal permanent tooth development and root bending, can also lead to delayed eruption. Early loss of deciduous molars and premolars can result in space narrowing, which further complicates permanent tooth eruption.
During teething, babies also need to supplement with calcium. You can give them calcium supplements suitable for teething.
