What to do when your child’s tooth falls out?

It is always an exciting moment when your child loses their first tooth. Kids get excited about the possibility of meeting the tooth fairy and getting some cash or something else they’ve been coveting for quite a while. However, it’s also crucial to understand how you can protect your kid’s dental health during this time since it sets the standard for future behavior.

Encourage Calmness

When your kid starts shaking that little tooth back and forth every few minutes because they are ready for it to come out, stay calm (because if you start panicking, then both of you will feel scared) . Encourage them instead just to be wiggling it with their tongue each day until one day pop! The jig may suddenly be up, but there’s no need to rush.

Get Creative With Reassuring Tactics

Having an imaginative arrangement can assist kids in feeling safer at this perplexing stage when their teeth begin dropping out all over unexpectedly (like freakin’ everywhere). Offer enough additional pillows so his head won’t shift too much as he nods off—at night can likewise help quiet nerves by offering proximity without keeping mum restricted next door.

Resist Pulling on Teeth Directly

As tempting as grapefruits directly overhead look from down below – don’t attempt pulling those “almost-fallen-out-teeth” without special tools (you’re possibly causing more trouble than its worth) (and believe me using pliers is not “special”…) Use gauze pads or a tissue rather than attempting the aid of pure bare knuckles since doing so puts unnecessary pressure on surrounding teeth causing injury or excessive bleeding (nobody wants Tarantino vibes).

Spit Versus Swallow Debate – It’s Not What You Think!

Despite what hostile six-year-olds might declare- there isn’t anything wrong with children swallowing loose teeth. It won’t harm their digestive system or come out any different from the usual course (thankfully!) Hence, as long as they are not in discomfort and enjoying themselves while it comes off naturally, let them be (There is a special place in hell for parents that forcefully remove these things!)

Rinse but Avoid Medication

Swishing with salty water after an extraction can prevent infection and irritation caused by debris left behind (yuck!) After that take care to avoid applying over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin because sometimes children below 19 year old might experience permanent injury resulting from its use.

Knowing When To Visit The Dentist

Normally baby teeth falling out is typical childhood behavior since most primary teeth drop at about age six or seven (That’s right… it’s a “normal” thing) However, when multiple falls of teeth continually become loose again wrongly—it’s time to schedule a dental checkup. If your kid has seriously hurt themselves you should depart straightaway to an emergency clinic for quicker action (and cookies afterwards may help too).

Teeth Age Timeline!!!

All dates contingent upon genetics (those darn things)

Dodging Embarrassment!

Ensure your child understands that all classmates don’t need unnecessary coverage updates concerning the tooth fairy’s latest sojourn—also include this when he funds the piggy bank, those details must always stay between family members only. Now what? Time to brush, floss and get to bed!
