Why do some children have sparse teeth?

With the development of our science and technology, our living standard is getting better and better, and there will be no diseases caused by malnutrition in the past. However, in our life, we will find that some children have sparse teeth, just like the teeth of the elderly.

If this happens to children, it is because many children are around 3 years old and all their 20 deciduous teeth erupt. If the number of children's deciduous teeth is not abnormal, but the gaps are sparse, then parents don't have to worry, because these gaps are also called physiological gaps. The existence of this gap is more conducive to the eruption of larger permanent teeth. During the period of 6-9 years old, children's tooth changing period is a short-term malocclusion, which can return to normal after completing tooth changing and establishing a new occlusal relationship. So this situation is very common.

If the child's teeth are still sparse after tooth loss, it may be that the child loves sweets and does not pay attention to the cleaning of teeth during tooth loss, so food residue will stay in the mouth, resulting in sparse teeth. Because of sparse teeth, children can't fully chew food, and the nutrition in food is not well absorbed, which greatly affects children's physical development. Children may increase the burden on the stomach, and in the long run, the chances of children getting gastrointestinal diseases will also increase greatly. At this time, we don't have to worry. As long as the child is treated well, the child's teeth will be completely new.

When treating children with sparse teeth, children can take tablets containing calcium gluconate, so as to supplement calcium and vitamin D and promote the absorption of calcium. At the same time, it is necessary to supplement calcium in children's diet, so milk and dairy products are necessary choices, because calcium is not only rich in content, but also absorbed quickly, which is the most ideal food for children to supplement calcium. Moreover, coarse grains, soybeans, kelp, black fungus and other foods also contain more calcium, phosphorus, iron and fluorine, which all contribute to the calcification of children's teeth. This can improve the situation of children's sparse teeth.
