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 lacking 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 seen in delayed eruption of upper central incisors, as the upper deciduous incisors may fall out prematurely, or due to the habit of chewing on the gums, leading to local gingival keratinization, fibrosis, toughness, and thickening, making tooth eruption difficult. Obstructions such as supernumerary teeth, dental tumors, and cysts, as well as abnormal permanent tooth development and root bending, can also cause delayed eruption. Early loss of deciduous molars and premolars can lead to space narrowing, resulting in difficulty with permanent tooth eruption.
During the teething period, babies should also supplement with calcium. You can give them calcium supplements suitable for teething.
