A baby tooth fell out 🦷

Last week, my child's baby tooth fell out 🦷

While there are individual differences in when teeth fall out,
I feel like my child is a bit slower compared to other kids.

The last time one fell out was actually over half a year ago.
(And since they were scared, they didn't pull it out themselves, but had it removed during a regular checkup 😅)

Actually, the period after a baby tooth falls out is a time when it's easy to leave behind missed spots while brushing.
Because gaps form between the teeth, plaque can easily remain.

That is exactly why you should try to be mindful of these areas:
・The sides of the teeth adjacent to the gap (the parts circled in the photo)
・The permanent tooth that is about to emerge

In particular, the time when a permanent tooth is just starting to emerge is when it is most susceptible to cavities.

Also, if plaque continues to remain, the gums around it can become inflamed (gingivitis).

That is why,
I want to be a little more thorough with the finishing brush during this period 🦷✨

Just being a little bit more conscious makes a difference 💡
It's a small point, but these efforts add up to make a difference later on.

I hope this serves as a helpful tip for today's tooth brushing 🪥✨
