Hello everyone. I am @tamanna055

Assalamualaikum friends,
I hope you are all well by the grace of God. I'm fine too. Today I'm here to participate in a awesome contest in the Healthy Steem community organized by respected @helengutier2.
One of the most beautiful things in the world is a baby's smile. His little milk teeth play an important role behind this smile. A baby's milk teeth are important not only for eating but also for his future permanent teeth. Today I will discuss baby's milk teeth on my blog.
When do milk teeth appear, how many are there and how are they classified?
Usually, milk teeth start appearing from the age of six months. And they grow completely by the age of three.
How many teeth do they appear in total: As far as I know, 20, 10 teeth in the upper jaw and 10 teeth in the lower jaw.
Classification of teeth:
Incisors: It helps in cutting food, the first eight teeth in the mouth are known as incisors.
Canines: It helps in tearing food, there are four of these teeth which help us a lot in eating food.
Molars: It helps in chewing and digesting food. There are 8 of these teeth.
Why is it important to keep baby teeth and why is it harmful to remove them early?
It is important to keep baby teeth for a long time for various reasons
To save space for permanent teeth: If baby teeth are not in the right position, then permanent teeth cannot grow properly. If a tooth falls out early, the adjacent teeth can move into the empty space, resulting in a lack of space when the permanent teeth grow in.
To chew properly: If a child has teeth, he can chew food well, which helps in digestion.
To maintain the facial structure of children: Teeth help in maintaining the shape of the mouth and face of children.
Helps in learning language: Children learn to speak correctly with the help of teeth. If teeth fall out early, pronunciation problems may arise.
My experience, how did my baby teeth fall out?
There are many children whose baby teeth fall out naturally, while many do not fall out, for which they need to see a doctor.
Ways to take care of baby teeth
Brushing teeth regularly: Children should be brushed regularly in the morning and at night to keep their teeth healthy.
Developing proper eating habits: Avoid foods that are harmful to teeth, such as excess sugar and sweets.
Making a habit of eating hard foods like carrots: This makes teeth much stronger.
Avoiding habits that can damage teeth: Biting on hard things that can damage teeth, such as biting pencils or holding bottle caps in your mouth.
Regular dental checkups: It is good to see a dentist every six months to keep our teeth healthy.
My experience, how did my baby teeth fall out?
There are many children whose baby teeth fall out naturally, while many do not, for which they need to see a doctor.
My baby teeth did not fall out naturally. I had to see a doctor and have my teeth extracted when I was a child, because my teeth were damaged and decayed a lot. My teeth were infected with worms, due to which the teeth became very small, which could not be removed without going to the doctor. As far as I know, only my family had problems with my teeth, but now Alhamdulillah I do not have any problems with my teeth.
Although milk teeth are temporary, their importance is immense, if these teeth are not taken care of properly, many types of problems can arise with the permanent teeth in the future. Due to which we may have to suffer from problems throughout our lives. Therefore, children should take care of their teeth and get them checked at the right time.
