The Right Type of Dental Work
One of the known causes of angular cheilitis is a misaligned bite. When your teeth and bite are misaligned, it can cause sores to form when you accidentally bite the inside of your cheeks or your lips. Unfortunately, quite a few children have mouth sores due to accidentally biting their lips. As a result, angular cheilitis can occur for those with trouble due to a misaligned bite. The good news is with the proper dental work, you can significantly reduce the odds of angular cheilitis. Unfortunately, there are times when the dentures or mouth hardware don’t fit correctly, which can add to the list of problems, but such complications are rare.
Getting dental work done as early as possible is never a bad idea to help deal with misalignments. Depending on the issue, the dentist may use braces or retainers. Some of the more complicated cases may require using headgear to help. Dental work matters and should be a top priority for parents who want to ensure their kids grow up without dental issues.
