CHECK OUT HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR CHILD\u2019S SMILE WITH OUR PEDIATRIC DENTIST IN CHARLOTTE, DR. HOLT<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our pediatric<\/a> <\/a>dentist<\/a> <\/a>in<\/a> <\/a>Charlotte<\/a>, <\/a>NC<\/a> knows that losing baby teeth is a major milestone in your child\u2019s life. This process occurs around age six or seven when it\u2019s time to make room for your child\u2019s adult teeth. Your child\u2019s first set of adult teeth are their molars at the back of their mouth. This will gradually push your child\u2019s baby teeth out of place and encourage the eruption of the teeth underneath their gums. It will take several years for all of your child\u2019s adult teeth to fully emerge. You should bring your child to visit Holt Family Dentistry every six months so that their oral health and tooth eruption progression can be monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your child has a tooth that\u2019s just barely hanging on, there are some gentle ways to help it along without damaging their gums. Dr. Holt recommends grabbing a very loose tooth with a tissue and giving it a gentle tug. If this isn\u2019t enough to help the tooth along, it may not be ready to fall out just yet. You should never try to remove a tooth that isn\u2019t loose enough because it causes damage to the gums and the adult tooth underneath. If your child\u2019s gum bleeds excessively when their tooth comes out, use a tissue to put pressure on the area until a clot can be formed. Have them be careful when brushing for the next few days so that they do not irritate the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Charlotte<\/a> <\/a>pediatric<\/a> <\/a>dentist<\/a> knows that one of the best parts of losing baby teeth is the visit from the tooth fairy. Dr. Holt has plenty of suggestions on how to introduce the concept of the tooth fairy so that your child is excited about their new smile! Some children may be scared about losing their teeth, or may not enjoy the idea of a fairy putting money under their pillow at night. If your child is anxious about this process, try different approaches to make this process fun! If leaving a small gift under your child\u2019s pillow is not their favorite option, try a box instead. Having a tooth box that they place their tooth in overnight may make them more comfortable with the idea of the tooth fairy. Try giving them new dental care products when they lose a tooth to encourage proper dental care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for more helpful tips when it comes to your child\u2019s smile, don\u2019t hesitate to ask Dr. Holt, our pediatric<\/a> <\/a>dentist<\/a> <\/a>in<\/a> <\/a>Charlotte<\/a> NC, by calling (704) 542-2325 and scheduling your family\u2019s appointment today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
