The newborn baby's gums look bare. In fact, as early as the fetal period, the tooth germs of deciduous teeth began to develop. When the baby was born. There are already two layers of tooth germs: deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. From the development of fetal teeth to the eruption of deciduous teeth, this stage is called teething; Teeth eruption refers to the process from the first deciduous tooth eruption to the complete growth of 20 deciduous teeth.
Usually, the baby will start teething from 4 to 10 months after birth. Usually, the first tooth that the baby erupts is the central incisor of the lower collar, which is often called the lower incisor. After the lower incisors erupt, the upper incisors will erupt one after another in 1 ~ 4 months. At the age of 2 ~ 3, all 20 deciduous teeth will grow well.
The baby's teething sooner or later is related to many factors, such as heredity, nutrient absorption level and the frequency of moderate gum stimulation. As long as the baby's first deciduous tooth erupts within 13 months after birth, it is normal and parents need not worry.
In addition, the order and rhythm of teething are also different, and the deciduous teeth are not sprouting at a uniform speed in time. Sometimes the baby 1 ~ 2 months has no teeth, and sometimes 3 ~ 4 teeth will erupt at the same time; Some of the baby's teeth erupt one by one, some erupt one by one, and some don't play cards according to common sense, which disrupts the normal teething order.
Every baby has its own development law, and there are also great individual differences in teething. There is absolutely no need for parents to compare with other babies in the process of teething, which will only increase unnecessary anxiety.
Help your baby to relieve teething discomfort.
When teething, the teeth burst the gums and gradually grow out. In the process of teething, the baby will have a series of adverse reactions such as crying, biting fingers, drooling, low fever and ear discomfort. Parents can try the following methods to help him relieve discomfort. First, prepare grinding rods, pacifiers, gutta percha, etc. Let the baby bite. Choose safe and high-quality pacifiers, gutta percha, etc. And the baby can relieve the discomfort caused by swollen gums to a certain extent by biting. Need to be reminded that even if the baby has started to add complementary food, don't use carrots, cucumbers and other molars to avoid choking after swallowing. If you want to choose the food for grinding your teeth, grinding bars or biscuits is relatively safe.
Second, use short-term iced molars. Put gutta percha, nipple, etc. Put it in the refrigerator for a while and then give it to your baby. The cool taste can make the baby feel more comfortable. But be careful not to freeze the gutta percha and nipple, so as not to freeze the teeth too much and hurt the baby's gums.
Third, help your baby massage his gums. Parents can wet clean medical gauze around their fingers and gently massage their gums. This method can also relieve discomfort to a certain extent, but attention should be paid to hygiene when using it, and the force should not be too strong to avoid damaging the gums.
Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to see a doctor when the baby has adverse reactions during teething, but parents should learn to identify the causes of discomfort and not attribute all symptoms to teething, so as not to delay treatment. For example, when the baby has a high fever, even if the fever is mostly low-grade, if there is high fever, other reasons should be considered; Although teething can cause ear discomfort, if the baby pulls the ear frequently, it is necessary to rule out whether there is an ear infection. In addition, if the baby is particularly upset, the gum bleeding is excessive or persistent, or it is difficult to determine whether it is discomfort caused by teething, it is necessary to ask a doctor for diagnosis in time.
Protect the baby's deciduous teeth
Although deciduous teeth will be replaced sooner or later, if serious dental caries occur, it is likely to affect the development of permanent teeth.
First of all, if the dental caries are removed, two adjacent deciduous teeth will gradually occupy the original position of dental caries, and when the permanent teeth here erupt, there is not enough space, which is likely to lead to the problem of uneven tooth arrangement.
In addition, the tooth germ of permanent teeth is just below the root of deciduous teeth. If dental caries spread to root and periodontal tissues, it will also affect the health of permanent teeth. Therefore, parents should pay special attention to protecting their baby's deciduous teeth, even if there is only one.
Parents can use a fingertip toothbrush to help their baby brush his teeth every day. At the same time, we should consciously demonstrate how to brush our teeth with exaggerated movements and interesting expressions to stimulate our baby's interest. If the baby doesn't like to brush his teeth, parents should pay attention to the guidance method and avoid forcing it in a mechanical and rude way to avoid the baby's resistance.
