Deciduous tooth loss: tooth extraction skills

Parents always feel a little worried when their baby's deciduous teeth start to loosen. In fact, deciduous teeth loss is a normal phenomenon in the process of children's growth. This article will introduce the knowledge about deciduous teeth shedding and tooth extraction skills to help parents take better care of their children's oral health.

Timing of tooth extraction

When the deciduous teeth are loose and inclined to one side (front or back) by about 15 degrees, hand extraction can be considered. There may be some bleeding, but don't worry, because there is not much nutrition supply from the moment the deciduous teeth are loose.

Correct method of tooth extraction

Remember not to push back and forth when pulling teeth, which may lead to fracture and stab the gums. The correct way is to hold (clamp) the deciduous teeth and straighten them (up or down) so that they can be pulled out easily.

Don't be too sensitive.

In fact, deciduous teeth loss is a normal phenomenon of children's growth, so don't be too sensitive. The deciduous teeth will not affect the development of permanent teeth, but when the permanent teeth grow out, children should be reminded of the hardness of the tongue and food.
