• The eruption cyst, eruption hematoma, causes bleeding in the capillaries as a result of the pressure exerted on the surrounding tissues while the teeth are erupting. This painless, blue, purple swelling can be distributed by massaging and the eruption of the tooth can be facilitated.Early birth

  low birth weight

  Heredity

  Vitamin D deficiency

  Exposure of mother or child to X-rays during pregnancy

  Systemic diseases (down syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia,…)

  Endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism,…)

Apart from a trauma to the primary tooth or tooth decay, early loss of milk teeth usually develops due to a systemic disease. (Hypophosphatasia, Papillon le fevre, Histiocytosis group X diseases, Neutropenia, Leukemia, Diabetes,…)

Some habits acquired during childhood negatively affect the development of the mouth and jaw, and the positioning of the teeth. These habits should be abandoned in childhood. You can also get help from the dentist in this regard.

These habits are:

finger sucking

tongue thrust

Bottle and pacifier sucking

Nail biting

mouth breathing

biting various objects

grinding and clenching teeth

Keeping food in mouth without swallowing

All sucking habits are normal until the age of two. Usually, these habits are spontaneously abandoned. Changes in the positions of the teeth and disorders in jaw development occur after irresistible habits.

• Oral hygiene and nutrition educationFluorine application (Application that strengthens the mineral structure of the teeth)

  Pit and fissure sealant (Protective filling)

  Placeholders are the treatments and examinations performed with the aim of keeping the teeth healthy for many years by gaining oral and dental care habits in childhood. Because it is painless and simple procedures, meeting with a dentist is very useful in overcoming dentist phobia.

It includes the importance and teaching of correct and effective brushing, the use of dental floss and its importance. When we acquire these habits at a young age, we will have a healthy mouth throughout our lives.

It is often difficult as parents to control our children’s eating habits. Children listen to their teachers and doctors more. For this reason, the task of explaining the foods that cause caries in the teeth and limiting the consumption of these foods falls to the dentist.

These trainings, which take place in the atmosphere of conversation, will also play a positive role in getting your child used to the dentist.

In case of premature loss of primary teeth for any reason, removable or fixed appliances made to keep the permanent teeth in their normal positions are called placeholders. If the cavity of the extracted primary tooth is not preserved, the teeth in front and behind the cavity will fill it. The new permanent tooth will not be able to come out in the position it should be, and crowding will occur in the teeth. It may even be possible for a permanent tooth to remain impacted.

If the permanent tooth is very soon to erupt,

If there is more than enough room for the permanent tooth to erupt,

If there is not enough room for the permanent tooth to erupt,

If the gap of the lost tooth for orthodontic purposes is desired to be filled by neighboring teeth,

If there is any pathology in the eruption path of the permanent tooth, there is no need to make a placeholder.

From pregnancy onwards, the mother should pay attention to oral care.

In order to prevent the transmission of bacteria from mother to child, the contact of the pacifier and spoon used during the feeding of the baby to the mother’s mouth should be avoided.

After feeding the baby should drink water last.

From the moment the first teeth erupt, the teeth should be cleaned with a wet cheesecloth.

Prevent your baby from sleeping with a bottle at night.

Do not add foods that increase caries formation such as sugar, honey, molasses to the bottle.

The dental adventure, which started with the eruption of milk teeth in the 6th month, is now a lifelong journey. An approach that replaces milk teeth with a new one can cause serious problems in your child:

Waking up with pain at night, crowding in permanent teeth, missing teeth, disorders in jaw development, etc.

Treatment methods that can be applied to milk teeth and children are as follows:

Filling

amputation

Root canal treatment

Apexification

stainless steel crowns

Tooth extraction

frenectomy

As a result of the connective tissue between the teeth in the anterior region being longer than necessary, a gap remains between these teeth after the upper anterior permanent teeth come out. The shortening of this tissue is called maxillary labial frenectomy. This should be done after the upper permanent canine teeth have erupted (approximately 12 years of age).

Dental trauma is the most common problem after dental caries in children. Dental trauma is most commonly caused by falls, school accidents, sports accidents, traffic accidents and fights.

Trauma result:

Tooth and root fracture, crack

shaking of the tooth

Complete dislocation of the tooth

embedding of the tooth

Changing the position of the tooth

Injury of surrounding soft tissue

Fractures and cracks may occur in the jawbone.

• The dentist should be contacted without delay.If there are fragments of the broken tooth, it should be preserved. It may be possible to glue these parts in place.

  In cases where the tooth is completely dislodged; The tooth should be found and stored in saliva, milk or physiological saline until it touches the root surface as much as possible and goes to the dentist. If the conditions are suitable, the tooth can be placed back in the mouth and kept in the mouth.
