When it comes to children teething, it is basically after half a year old. But there is a little baby in Shaanxi who actually grew teeth as soon as he was born.
Wang Huiping, director of the neonatal ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: The first time I saw this child, I was very strange, why did the mouth grow something, or a white thing.
When the baby girl was examined after birth, the white things on the gum bed caught the doctor's attention.
Wang Huiping, director of the neonatal ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: We touched it, it was a little hard, and it could swing, and at that time, it was considered to be "early teeth", which is also known as "birth teeth" in medicine.
"Premature teeth" are indeed very rare, but this tooth is actually deciduous teeth.
Wang Huiping, director of the neonatal ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: There is only one in about two or three thousand children, which is the second case we have seen.
Because the root of the tooth is relatively small, it is easy to fall off when it is loose. After shedding, it is easy to enter the trachea and cause suffocation.
Wang Huiping, director of the neonatal ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: After 60 hours of this baby's birth, the teeth automatically fall out, and we quickly take it out when we see it.
Everyone wonders, what is the reason why the newborn baby has teeth?
Wang Huiping, director of the neonatal ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: The reason is unknown, and it is related to race, etc., some mothers ask whether it is more than calcium supplementation during pregnancy, in fact, it has little to do with calcium supplementation.
Wang Huiping, director of the neonatal ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: Don't be nervous, it is a real deciduous tooth, and it will not affect the germination of permanent teeth in the future.
Whether to pull it out or stay it depends on the condition of the tooth. If the premature tooth falls out, then no deciduous teeth will grow in this position, but it will not affect the germination of the permanent teeth later.
