Is it normal for a six year old to lose teeth?

It is normal for a six-year-old child to lose teeth, but parents must encourage their children more during the period of tooth replacement and provide psychological counseling. Only in this way can they become more confident. They should also pay attention to providing them with nutritional supplements, such as giving them more corn, apples and other foods, which will provide better nutrition.

Psychological care

Children's self-esteem has been established during the tooth replacement period. Although they don't say it, they care a lot about whether their front teeth look good or not. If you tease your child in this way, he or she will develop an inferiority complex and may even lick his or her teeth desperately hoping they will grow out faster, but this will have the opposite effect. You can tell your children that white swans are transformed from ugly ducklings. The loss of front teeth and ugly appearance are a process of transformation, proving that "you are growing up soon", and every child must go through this process when growing up.

Nutrition and Diet

As children grow older, they should eat more chewy foods such as jellyfish, peanuts, sugar cane, spiced beans, etc. to maintain a good stimulation effect on the deciduous teeth and promote the shedding of deciduous teeth on time. When the child is about 10 years old, the front incisors and back molars have erupted, and parents can add some celery stalks, corn, apples and other foods to them to ensure a smooth tooth replacement and give the child a healthy and neat permanent tooth. Children need to be rubbed before their teeth change. Children should eat more chewy foods during their teeth change period. Other related information

[Time] The first permanent molar (sixth-year molar) erupts at around 6 years old. It is the earliest permanent tooth to erupt and its function is extremely important. It must be protected by pit and fissure sealing. 11-13 years old, bicuspids and second permanent molars have just erupted,

Pit and fissure sealing is the most effective. In addition, for children aged 3-4 years old, the deciduous molars can be sealed, but the children are still young and may not cooperate.
