Patient's question:
Is it normal for a child over 4 years old to start losing teeth? Doctor, is it too early? I look forward to your answer. Thank you.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, roller skating, or learning arithmetic. Because new permanent teeth will almost last a lifetime with them, and are related to diet, appearance, and even mental health. Dental care during the teething period is very important, directly affecting 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 help them have healthy teeth.
