The baby has obviously reached the age of teeth, why haven't you seen the teeth? Parents can not help but worry: "Is there a problem with development?" "Do you want to add calcium tablets?" In fact, the slow growth of teeth is not as simple as lack of nutrition, the following four factors may be related to too slow teeth.
1. Inheritance
The main reason for the slower teeth of young children comes from heredity, including family history, ethnicity, and even gender. According to most studies, girls' teeth will be older than boys.
2. Acquired environment
In addition to congenital genetic factors, the acquired environment may also indirectly cause slow teeth. Take preterm infants, his long teeth time must be deducted prematurely, so that the conclusions are more accurate. If you are a premature baby born at 30 weeks of gestation, the time to grow your first tooth must be delayed by 10 weeks (usually 6 to 8 months after birth). In addition, infants who are underweight are also likely to experience slower teeth.
3. Systemic diseases
Down syndrome, pituitary secretion abnormalities, ectodermal hypoplasia syndrome, etc., all may cause children's teeth with different speeds, and blood tests must be conducted to determine the true cause.
4. Trauma and infection
If the child’s deciduous teeth are of different heights, it is most likely that the tooth is impacted by an external force, resulting in the necrosis of the ligaments connected to the teeth, and the replacement of the bone with new bones (bone sticking), which appears to be just a tooth growth from the outside. Slower, in fact it will affect the germination of permanent teeth. If the baby's deciduous teeth are lost early, connective tissue will form on the surface of the gums. Once the permanent teeth have not fully grown at this time, they will be oppressed and cause the teeth of the permanent teeth to become slower. In addition, sometimes the medicines taken by young children can make the gums thicker and the teeth less likely to emerge. This can also cause parents to have a misunderstanding of the slower teeth.
Children's long teeth cycle is not the same, although the first tooth should be grown about 6 months old, but in terms of deciduous teeth, the time gap between teething is normal within six months, while the permanent teeth eruption time The reasonable gap can even be extended to one year. Therefore, there is usually no need to worry too much. Usually, only the teething time is different, and it does not affect the function of the teeth.
Baby teeth need to add 6 major nutrients:
1. Calcium
Calcium is the main ingredient that makes up the teeth. With less of it, small teeth will grow little.
Recommended foods: shrimp, bone, kelp, seaweed, fish, egg yolk, milk and dairy products.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus can give your baby indestructible teeth, if the baby lacks phosphorus, it will lead to poor tooth hardness, easy to break.
Recommended foods: meat, fish, milk, beans, cereals, and vegetables.
3. Fluorine
Chewing fluoride-rich foods just like toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste can prevent erosion of the teeth by the acid produced by bacteria, thereby increasing the firmness of the teeth, free from corrosion, and less prone to caries.
Recommended food: Marine fish.
4. Protein
If the protein intake is insufficient, it will cause the phenomenon of uneven teeth arrangement, delayed tooth eruption and periodontal tissue lesions, and it will easily lead to the occurrence of dental caries.
Recommended foods: The proteins contained in various animal foods, milk and dairy products are high quality proteins. The quality of protein contained in legumes (especially soybeans) is more in plant foods.
5. Vitamin A
The lack of vitamin A can cause the baby to delay teething, affect the development of enamel cells, and change the color of the teeth into a chalky color.
Recommended foods: Cod liver oil preparations, fresh vegetables.
6. Vitamin C
The lack of vitamin C can cause bad teeth development, atrophy of the bones, and easy edema of the gums "bleeding."
