Question
What’s going on with a 6-year-old child growing saw-toothed teeth? The previous teeth in each article have been like saws, what should I do?
Answer
Regarding saw-toothed teeth, when permanent teeth are emerging, there are three developmental tips at the cutting edge (the edge where you bite things), and if you look closely, you can also see two developmental grooves on the tooth surface. These are all normal phenomena and there is no need to worry. As the child grows older, the teeth will gradually wear down, and adult teeth will not have such a saw-toothed structure. It will get better in a few years. What’s most important for you now is to help your child master an effective and healthy brushing method, brushing their teeth three times a day for three minutes each time. Always use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and use fluoride toothpaste if necessary to prevent tooth decay. Don’t ignore oral health just because the child is still young!
