The princess of one of my sister's families is 4 months old and recently popped out of her first deciduous teeth.
Because it was the first time to become a mother, my sister was naturally very excited, happily took a photo, and also sent a circle of friends.
When she went online the next day, she happened to see someone commenting on "the baby's teething and premature death", and suddenly felt that she had been poured a basin of cold water, and her heart was a little worried.
The more my sister thought about it, the more wrong it became, and whether there was such a saying that the family group asked for help.
As a staunch "materialist", I naturally have no faith in this statement.
However, in order to answer my sister's doubts, I still searched for information, and found that there are many legends about baby teething.
For example, the baby teeth late, old do not worry about eating and wearing, blessed; the baby teeth too early to eat the parents, the big did not show up; the baby first grows a single tooth is not easy to find a partner, no one loves when he grows up.
To be honest, these statements are simply ridiculous and do not stand up to any logical scrutiny.
After the sister saw these statements, she also immediately threw her worries about the baby out of the clouds, and once felt that she was "a fool in pregnancy for three years", and she was so superstitious.
However, although the baby's teeth have nothing to do with fate sooner or later, it is important to remind the novice parents that the baby's teeth are very important, although it is only "deciduous teeth", it cannot be taken lightly.
How long does it take for your baby to molarize your teeth?
In general, the baby's teeth will erupt around 4-8 months, and later, 9 months and 10 months are more common.
Around the 4th month, the baby will grow the first one, or two "lower middle incisors" at the same time, which is commonly known as "lower incisors", and after 1 month, two "upper middle incisors (upper incisors)" will grow.
From 8 months to 1 year old, the two sides will grow "upper incisors" and "lower incisors", and from 1 to 1 and a half years old, the baby's first molars erupt, and the chewing ability is unprecedentedly improved.
In the following months, the baby will also grow upper and lower fangs, upper and lower second milk molars, complete the eruption of deciduous teeth, and obtain the first pair of teeth in life.
After that, starting from the child's 7-year-old teeth, until about the age of 13, the replacement of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth will be completed, in other words, deciduous teeth will accompany the child for 13 years.
In addition, it should be noted that if the baby has not grown teeth at 13 months, it is medically considered to be "late onset of deciduous teeth", and it is necessary to consider whether the baby is deficient in vitamin D, or whether there is a lack of thyroid function, dwarfism, rickets local gum mucosal hypertrophy and other diseases, which must be checked in advance and taken measures.
What does your baby do when he or she has teeth?
For the baby's first teeth, I believe many parents are very much looking forward to it, although we can't directly observe before the baby's teeth grow out, but as long as we pay close attention to whether it has the following 3 manifestations, we can clearly know whether the baby is going to grow deciduous teeth.
1. Obvious redness and swelling of the gums;
2. Inexplicable crying, a lot of drooling;
3. Like to bite things, especially relatively hard objects.
In addition, some babies in the deciduous teeth eruption, may also be accompanied by a certain inflammation, or low-grade fever, parents should pay attention to observation, more patience and understanding, in the baby's deciduous teeth germination process, but also to be carefully cared for, to help the baby smoothly through the period of teeth.
When the baby's deciduous teeth erupt, what problems should we pay attention to?
1. Help your baby wipe his saliva at any time
Babies will often drool during the teeth period, and we should gently dry them with a soft handkerchief or paper towel at any time to avoid wiping back and forth.
Baby's skin is very delicate, saliva soaked for a long time, easy to appear infection, long "saliva rash", in addition to drying, we can also apply mild moisturizing milk for the baby, but also play a certain effect.
2. Do a good job of oral hygiene
Before the deciduous teeth erupt, your baby's mouth cleaning should begin, at least once a day with clean gauze dipped in water to clean your baby's gums and tongue.
After your baby's deciduous teeth erupt, in addition to cleaning the mouth, you should also start cleaning the baby teeth with gauze or a silicone toothbrush.
After your baby learns to throw up, he can use a silicone toothbrush to add toothpaste the size of a grain of rice to help clean the deciduous teeth once a day, morning and evening, for longer than 2 minutes.
3. Take your baby to see the dentist regularly
Finally, if conditions permit, after the baby grows the first tooth, we should also take the baby to see the dentist regularly, and the doctor will judge whether it is necessary to do "fluoride" to obtain the baby's oral health information, generally every six months.
epilogue:
Only if the deciduous teeth are healthy enough, children can have a good "permanent teeth" in the future.
For the baby's deciduous teeth, we must pay attention to it, do not think that the deciduous teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth sooner or later, it does not matter whether they are good or bad, although the deciduous teeth are small, but the impact is great!
