Question:
Hello
our daughter at 7 1/2 has only lost 2 teeth at the bottom of the mouth - is it normal? There are no new teeth look, above or behind her teeth and no teeth rocking ... Did that as a 8 year old did most of his adult teeth?
She was slow to get its milk teeth ...
we must do something or just wait?
Thank you in advance
christina
Answer:
Dear Christina
It is very normal that there is a difference when children get their permanent teeth. It is typically only when you are 12 years you have most of your adult teeth, but there are obviously differences in children.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely

Two out of five parents defy Dental Association recommendations, and not helping their children to brush teeth, according to a new study by Codan Insurance. According to the survey, nearly one in four children under 11 years today one or more holes in the teeth. Meanwhile, 44 percent of all children eat candy two to three times a week.
Parents do not help with brushing
"Our customers are generally very good to report their children's dental injuries and are actually worried that something happens to their children's teeth, which is very positive. Therefore, it is surprising that many parents have lost interest in brushing their children at a time when kids need most, "says Codan's press chief, Jens Nüchel and indicate that children have permanent teeth as early as 6-years old .
A child's milk teeth are replaced when the child is between six and twelve years. And the child's fine motor skills are not developed enough that it can handle the brushing until the child is about 10 years. Therefore, the recommendation to all parents that they must help the child with tooth brushing until the child is at least 10 years. In the 12-14 year age comes tolvårstænder child who sits behind seksårstænderne. And until the child can keep his teeth clean properly, parents should help with brushing at least once a day.
In Dental Association you are aware of the problem and here is believed that the parents of the so called "zero-hole generation, has placed responsibility for their children's dental health from him, when as many as 40 percent of parents helps children to keep teeth clean.
"The so-called 'null-holes-generation' who grew up with fluoride rinses in school, has become an adult. In this generation there is a tendency to place responsibility for their children's teeth than the dentist, the dentist, which ensures that children do not get holes. Some parents in this generation do not see brushing as something they must perform for their children because so few of them have ever had tooth decay. Dental care is still often placed in schools or are in school, but the intervals between children's dental visits in recent years has increased. Therefore it is more important that parents take their responsibility to help children with brushing until the child is 10-12 years, "says dental consultant in Dental Association Birthe Cortsen.
Parents do not know what that threaten their children's teeth
"Over 60 percent of parents worry about whether children fall and strike the teeth while the real risk of tooth damage is that the parents actually fill their children with sweets. There is an exaggerated fear that their children fall and hurt, "says press chief Jens Nüchel, Codan.
The children eat sugary cases several times a week
Codan Insurance is undergoing a major general survey on child health, among other things, focuses on the Danish 'problems with increasing obesity and poor dental health. One reason seems to be that kids are fed candy from an early infancy.
According to the survey will have three percent of children between 0 and 2 years sweets daily. While 32 percent of this age are fed with sweets, cakes or other sugary cases, two to three times a week.
1 in 10 children aged between 10 and 12 eat sweets daily. And for the 13 to 15 years old children, the figure is 11 percent, while 12 percent of those 16 to 17 year olds eat sweets every day. Overall eat 44 percent of all children sweets two to three times a week.
