What to do if your baby teeth are uneven

Deciduous teeth are an important part of the baby's chewing organs. If the deciduous teeth have not grown in fully, generally no special intervention is required because it is unlikely to affect the development of permanent teeth. If for some reason dental deformities occur when permanent teeth erupt, oral correction treatment will be required.

In addition, when the deciduous teeth first erupt, the surface may be uneven, even jagged. When the baby starts to add complementary foods and chew food with his teeth, the deciduous teeth will gradually grow flat. Adequate chewing exercises not only exercise the chewing muscles, but also put corresponding pressure on the teeth. It is transmitted to the jawbone through the periodontal membrane, making the structure of the teeth stronger.

How to prevent crooked baby teeth

1. Promote jaw development: While avoiding various unfavorable factors, you should take some measures to promote jaw development from the beginning of the eruption of your child's deciduous teeth. There are many simple ways to promote jaw development. An effective and simple method is to give the molars more opportunities to exercise. After the baby's deciduous molars erupt, often feed them some coarse and hard food, such as bubble gum and biscuits. When the teeth are replaced, you can feed the baby some sugar cane, spiced beans, etc.

2. Do not eat spoiled food: Of course, be careful not to eat spoiled food, such as moldy peanuts, so as not to lose more than the gain and cause other adverse consequences.

3. Eat more coarse grains: As people’s diet in today’s society develops towards refinement, the jawbone lacks proper stimulation, which can easily lead to jaw dysplasia and then malocclusion of teeth. So it is necessary to eat these coarse foods.

4. Strengthen the chewing of molars on both sides: When the baby eats food, pay attention to chewing with molars on both sides. Otherwise, too much exercise on one side and too little exercise on the other side will cause jaw deformity and malocclusion due to uneven stimulation of the jaw, and asymmetrical facial development due to unilateral chewing.

5. It is not advisable to eat too much coarse and hard food at one time: you can eat some at regular times and in fixed quantities every day, and the mother should also provide guidance to avoid forming bad habits.
