Surrey Orthodontist Discusses Losing Baby Teeth and Early Orthodontics

May 20, 2010

Surrey, BC -- When your child loses his or her first tooth it’s a big rite of passage. But in addition to leaving money, the Tooth Fairy should also remind parents that it’s a good time to emphasize the importance of good dental care.
“Those new teeth must last for the rest of your child’s life,” says Surrey orthodontist Dr. Aly Kanani.
You may not know this, but baby teeth fall out in the order in which they first grew in. The front two bottom teeth- the lower central incisors- are the first to go, followed by the front two upper teeth. Most children start losing teeth by 6 or 7, and girls are usually earlier than boys. All baby teeth are usually gone by age 13. Most children experience no pain with losing baby teeth. But if erupting molars give them discomfort, you can give them acetaminophen or a topical pain killer.

“When your child has a loose tooth, tell them they can wiggle it carefully. But they shouldn’t try to pull it out before it’s ready,” says Kanani, a Surrey invisible braces provider. “If you remove a tooth prematurely, the broken root could become infected.”

The new adult teeth are quite a bit larger than the baby teeth. They may have clearly defined ridges and can be less white. But these features will change when you child starts using them for chewing and biting. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists advises that seven-year-olds who have started losing baby teeth should receive an evaluation with an orthodontist, notes Kanani, a Surrey orthodontics and Invisalign provider. The orthodontist can evaluate whether the child’s jaw has enough room for all the adult teeth. If not, appropriate measures can be taken.
“Many orthodontic problems can be fixed without a lot of fuss if they are noticed early -- before a child’s jaw has stopped growing,” says the Surrey invisalign provider.

Addressing these issues while children are young might shorten their time in braces and obviate the need for later surgery. At these initial visits orthodontists can also address issues such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, and tongue thrusting – which can cause orthodontic problems in the future.
Surrey braces provider, Dr. Kanani, also notes that the time around when a child loses a first tooth is a good time to prepare for a lifetime of good dental health. Be sure to:

Visit your dentist at least twice a year.

Ask about fluoride treatments and sealants which can prevent tooth decay.

Tell your children not to consume sugary drinks or eat between meals.

Encourage them to brush in the morning, after meals and before bed.

Get your child a new toothbrush every few months.
