My girl got 2 teeth come out very crooked… later need braces or can wait?
How to stop my girl grinding teeth at night? Can it affect her jaw later?
Night-time grinding is common and usually improves on its own. Most kids don’t have long-term problems, but if you notice jaw pain, worn teeth, or disturbed sleep, check with a dentist. Stress reduction and a calm bedtime routine can help.
My boy always put toys into mouth… affect teeth or just hygiene thing?
At this age, it’s mostly a hygiene concern. Ensure toys are clean and safe. It rarely affects teeth unless it becomes a strong habit pressing on teeth or gums.
Can thumbsucking past 3 years old really make teeth crooked?
Yes, prolonged thumb-sucking beyond age 3 can push teeth out of alignment and affect jaw/palate shape. Encourage gradual stopping to prevent bite issues.
Can teeth crowding be prevented or is it mostly genetic?
Teeth crowding is often influenced by genetics, but early orthodontic checks can guide jaw growth and create space. Early monitoring can reduce how severe crowding becomes later.
Can sugar-free snacks also make teeth get holes?
Yes, some sugar-free snacks can still cause cavities if they are sour, starchy, or eaten too often.
