Question
Is it normal for a child over 12 years old to lose three teeth in one night?
Answer
This is a normal phenomenon. The primary teeth are gradually replaced by permanent teeth between the ages of 6-7 and 12-13, so this situation is normal. It is recommended to pay attention to oral hygiene after meals, develop the habit of rinsing the mouth, avoid eating hard foods, reduce sugary snacks during the tooth replacement process, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Continue to observe any changes. This condition in the child is part of a normal physiological process. There is no need to worry too much; just ensure the cleanliness of the mouth and teeth, rinse your mouth immediately after meals to avoid food residue causing problems.
