Patient's question:
A girl is 13 years old. Disease/Symptoms: Teeth falling out. My child is over 12 years old, but she is still losing her teeth. She lost three teeth in one night. Please ask the doctor if it is normal.Doctor's answer:
This is a normal phenomenon, as permanent teeth gradually replace the primary teeth from the age of 6-7 to 12-13. Therefore, this is quite normal. It is recommended to pay attention to oral hygiene after every meal, develop the habit of rinsing the mouth, avoid eating hard foods during tooth replacement, eat less sugary foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits. Observe the changes. This situation of the child is considered normal eating. This age is the time when primary teeth and permanent teeth alternate. You don't need to worry too much. Pay attention to protecting oral and dental hygiene in daily life, rinse the mouth promptly after meals to avoid leftover food particles, and prevent dental caries.
