Question

My daughter is nine years old, and her teeth have already been replaced, but recently I’ve noticed that a few of her teeth have become rather loose. I’d like to ask what could be the reason for this? Will it have an impact on her body? She hasn’t had any related treatment before, and I hope to get some advice and help.

Answer

The looseness of your daughter’s teeth might simply be a normal part of the tooth replacement process. However, if multiple teeth are loose at the same time, it may be necessary to check for deficiencies in calcium or poor oral hygiene habits, such as frequently eating sugar or going to bed without brushing after eating sugar. These can lead to tooth decay and unstable teeth. It is recommended to monitor the situation. If the problem persists or worsens, it is advisable to take your child to a dentist for a detailed examination and seek professional advice.
