This post from Arbor Lakes Dental in Maple Grove MN is about baby teeth.
They are very different from the adult teeth that come in later. It is well-known that baby teeth are supposed to fall out and permanent teeth are supposed to grow in their place. However, there are a number of things that you should know about baby teeth and their development.
What are the basics about baby teeth?
- Baby teeth usually come in around 6 to 12 months, but can come in later than that.
- Baby teeth usually begin to fall out at around age 6, but they can fall out any time they are ready and an adult tooth starts to take its place.
- It is important to teach healthy oral hygiene habits at a young age so that kids can grow up to have those same healthy habits as adults.
- Expect your child to experience some pain. Teeth growing in and cutting through the gums can be painful, and so can having to pull the teeth out.
- Most likely, baby teeth will fall out on their own, but sometimes it is necessary to pull teeth out.
- Baby teeth need to be professionally cleaned twice a year, just like adult teeth.
