Patient's question:
Experts, hello! My child is over four years old and is currently losing teeth (the two lower ones). Compared to peers, he is in the upper range of growth and development and is overweight. Is it too early for him to lose teeth? Is it related to early development? Will it affect his growth?Doctor's answer:
Usually, children aged 6 to 7 start losing their teeth. This indicates that the child is developing well. I hope you can give your baby more water, brush their teeth on time, and keep their mouth clean. Avoid eating too hard foods. For children aged five or six, losing teeth may be more important than playing the piano, rollerblading, or learning arithmetic. Because new permanent teeth will almost last a lifetime. Moreover, they are related to diet, appearance, and even mental health. Dental care during the teething period is very important. It directly affects whether children's teeth will be straight and beautiful in the future. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their children during this time to ensure they have healthy teeth.
