How to deal with long horse teeth?

First: long horse teeth generally do not have adverse effects on infants, infants do not have pain and discomfort, will not affect the growth and development of milk and deciduous teeth. In the process of sucking, the baby's gums and nipples rub. After a period of time, the horse's teeth will fall off or absorb themselves without treatment.

Second: individual malnourished baby horse teeth off time may be delayed. If you force to wipe or pick out these horse teeth may cause mucosal bleeding, which is easy to cause the immune system is very weak baby, oral mucosal damage and secondary infection. So moms need to be careful not to erase or pick out the teeth.

Third: pick with a needle, wipe the horse teeth with a cloth dipped in salt water or rice water, these practices are unscientific, because the neonatal oral mucosa is very delicate, submucosal blood vessels are rich, and the body resistance is very low, if you pick with a needle or wipe off the "horse teeth" with a cloth, it will cause mucosal damage, it is likely to make bacteria invade from the damaged place, causing inflammation.

The cotton ball should not be dipped in too much solution to prevent the baby from inhaling the solution into the respiratory tract. The operation should be light and the cotton ball should be clamped to prevent the cotton ball from falling to the back of the mouth, blocking the throat and causing suffocation.
