Our last dental section, it is a question related to the dentition that often arises in the dental office and causes many parents great concern. What happens when there is the permanent teeth coming while the teeth are still present? The passage of permanent teeth tooth is a process that has just a few steps. The first step occurs between 6 and 8 years when front teeth change the wire and burst the permanent molars of 6 years. The second step is between 8 and 10 years when there is very little change from a perspective of teeth, but there are a lot of growth. The final step is between 10 and 12 years old when the primary molars and the canine teeth fall and permanent the canine and premolars.Very often, the first upcoming teeth are the first to fall. The lower front incisors are beginning to loosen anywhere between 5 and 7 years old on average. Permanent teeth that follow are beginning to erupt, they will often cut the surface behind the teeth are still present. As the eruption of permanent teeth, you'll notice some obvious differences between the teeth and permanent teeth. The new teeth entry are much larger, generally much more yellow and "bumps" on the top/edge of the teeth. Permanent teeth, as primary or teeth, and are full size when they erupted, which means that they develop over time. This means that, when the teeth front news of your child, they are the same size, or very close to yours! That is why children have "awkward" appearance as front teeth come. This also means that since their mouth is smaller that an adult, at this stage of development, children often display a degree of crowding of the teeth in front, especially in the background. Often this congestion will solve over time as the teeth more return begin to fall later, between 10 and 12 years. Permanent teeth are also different from primary teeth with respect of the composition. These new teeth have thicker enamel and dentin which is more yellow than the teeth. It result permanent teeth are more yellow in appearance than the teeth, rest assured, this is normal. The Moguls, or "nipples" are normal and are generally worn off the coast in the early years of the tooth being present in the mouth.In some cases, permanent teeth will explode shortly before the fall teeth, giving the appearance of "shark teeth" where there are two rows of teeth present at the same time. The vast majority of the time that this situation will resolve itself without the need for professional assistance. Sometimes, however, the teeth will need help coming out, a scenario familiar to your dentist, and a he or she would be pleased to discuss with you.These are only some of the more common issues of the teeth seen in our Office. If you have any questions or concerns related to these and all other dental problems, do not hesitate to contact your family dentist or our Office for advice.Just in passing, halfway through the writing of this article my 6 year old son lost his baby second tooth. A proud, but strangely ironic moment... and Yes, it was shark teeth.
This very common question. Many parents of children with cavities is concerned that their child teeth are soft, thus increasing the risk of the cavity. Many parents accuse falsely "soft" teeth poor dental health of their children. Before we answer this question, it must talk about different tissues whose teeth are built.
Teeth are composed of four fundamental tissues: enamel, dentin, cementum and pasta. Enamel, dentin and pulp are the three tissues commonly associated with caries in children.
Enamel is a highly mineralized and white fabric a composition similar to the os, but much more difficult. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. Enamel is the protective outer layer of the Crown of the tooth that is initially attacked by acid sugarbugs production, or cavity-causing bacteria. The acids produced by these bacteria dissolve the enamel over time, so that the tissue below is achieved.
Dentin is softer yellowish tissue of the tooth beneath enamel and shape both the Crown and the root of each tooth. This layer of fabric is less mineralized than enamel, contains more protein and more water than enamel, making it more likely to disintegrate. Once the cavity to obtain this layer of tissue that they are moving more rapidly towards the dental pulp, or "nerve" of the tooth. More cavities is progressing in the dentin, becomes more painful tooth.
Dentin in tooth form a Chamber containing nerves, blood vessels and teeth building cells. The fabric in the House is called the root or dental pulp. Once a cavity reaches the pulp, pulp can become inflamed and will possibly be infected unless the treatment is provided.
The root surface is covered with cementum. This is the mildest of three mineralized tissues that make up our teeth. Usually, it is not visible among the children or young adults. However, as we age, cementum can be exposed by the retreat of the gums. It is a very sensitive fabric and react painfully to the physical or chemical stimulation such as brushing or hot or cold food. Most older adults have root surfaces exposed and exposed cementum.
Thus, in the vast majority of children with cavities are soft teeth. However, there are several genetic abnormalities and anomalies caused by disease, malnutrition or infection that may increase the risk for the affected teeth develop cavities. Any change of development affecting the roughness of the surface of the enamel or enamel thickness and dentine can accumulate the risk of cavity increase by making the job easier for bacteria to the surface or enter the tooth. FortunatelyThese conditions are very rare. Parents can question if their child has dental disease hereditary or acquired a dental anomaly if the color or shape of their children is different from what they expect. If you think that your child is affected by one of these rare conditions, ask your dentist to examine your child.
As we explained in previous columns, bacteria and our diet are much more important in the process of disintegration.
What is the bottom line? There are very few people actually having soft teeth. " Do not forget that the teeth and bones are formed of the same minerals - calcium and phosphate. If your child has "soft teeth", they probably also need to "soft" bones Soft bones are sensitive to deformation or fracture. Your family physician will be familiar if your child has abnormal bones. Your dentist will be able to determine if your child has abnormal enamel or dentin.
