10 types of children’s dental deformities that must be treated before the age of 12: 1. Reverse jaw – commonly known as “ground envelops sky”, which means that the lower row of teeth covers the upper row of teeth; 2. Skew jaw – due to decay or missing teeth on one side, eating on the other side for a long time can result in asymmetrical facial shape; 3. Severe large buckteeth; 4. Individual teeth in the opposite direction – that is, individual front teeth or two teeth in the opposite direction can pose great harm and affect the normal development of the upper part, resulting in a concave upper lip; 5. Severe dental crowding during the mixed dentition period – generally mild crowding during the mixed dentition period can be observed and will not be treated temporarily; Severe cases may manifest as individual or multiple teeth being misaligned in various directions; Moreover, crowded teeth also hinder the cleaning of local teeth and can lead to cavities, gingivitis, etc; 6. Mandibular retraction – insufficient development of the chin, with a small chin, commonly known as a bird’s beak; 7. Premature loss of deciduous teeth; 8. Retention of deciduous teeth; 9. Permanent teeth do not erupt or are impacted; 10. Poor finger sucking habits, lip habits, and tongue habits can lead to malocclusion of bones and teeth, so it is necessary to come to the hospital in a timely manner for interruption and correction;
After a child’s teeth erupt, parents should use a fingertip toothbrush to clean their child’s teeth in gentle, brief back and forth movements. Do it at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before bedtime. If children can clean their teeth every time they eat, it is certainly more ideal. This can help them establish good oral hygiene habits as soon as possible
