Development of baby appear teeth
The first baby teeth
Teething is not a baby step that succeeds at once. The passage of a toothless smile to a mouth full of teeth can take up to three years.
Everything begins in the womb. During pregnancy, the fetus is developing tooth buds that are the foundations of baby teeth (also called milk teeth). These buds begin to break through the gum between three and twelve months. You will see that first tooth, a tangible sign that your child gets older, about six months, which is when he begins to eat solid food. To three years, he has a mouth full of small teeth that can begin to brush himself (with some help from you). This is a first step towards independence.
At what age does it come out his baby teeth?
2000 babies born with one or two teeth! But the vast majority of them see their first tooth break between six and seven months. It may appear earlier than three months and no later than one year. The last teeth (second molars, found in the back, bottom or top of the jaw) are usually in their place during the second year. At age three, your child should have all of its twenty baby teeth.
How does the arrival of the first tooth?
For most babies and parents, the arrival of the first tooth is not much fun and can lead to lengthy. The first symptoms (hypersalivation and a lot of pain) before the release of a month or two. You will be forced to get up at night to comfort your baby will suffer from a tooth which is struggling to get out. For pain relief, your child may start to bite, but no anger or hostility. Give him something to chew or rub his gums with your finger to ease the pain.
The gums may also swell when your child is teething, which give red cheeks puffy. Although some parents report that their baby gets a fever, a red bum or has diarrhea when a tooth is about to leave, most experts agree that teething does not cause disease. At worst, your child may have a cold, mild flu or stomach problems, forcing you to go to the doctor.
The lucky ones will experience little or no during teething. From one week to another, you will see in the toothless mouth of your baby a little bit of white on the gum. Celebrate the first tooth by taking several pictures and note its arrival in the book of your child's birth.
The teeth come one after another, first the lower incisors and the upper incisors, premolars and molars. Tooth development is hereditary. If you've had yours earlier, there are great chances for this to be the same for your child.
The next step
Baby teeth will not fall before the permanent teeth of your child are ready to leave, at the age of six.
How can you help?
There is nothing to be done to take out the teeth, but you can comfort your baby if it hurts when the process has begun. Give him something first chewing, teething rings as you have stored in the refrigerator. Eating cold food, such as applesauce or yogurt from the fridge, can also do him good.
If your baby is really suffering a lot, you can give acetaminophen, according to its weight and asking your doctor for advice.
If he has a fever or crying a lot, see your doctor. It may have an ear infection.
Once the teeth are out, we must keep them clean. The first year, it will not be useful to brush his teeth, but try to clean them at least once a day. This may be part of the bedtime ritual. Your child may be ready to have a toothbrush in his mouth, then rub his gums and teeth with a clean cloth. Never allow your child to bed with a bottle. Milk can pool in her mouth at night and cause cavities called "nursing caries".
Check with your pediatrician or dentist whether to give your child fluoride. To eighteen months, your child can learn to brush their teeth. You will need the help and check for several more years if well brushed, but it's a good habit. Show her how to move the brush on his teeth. Use a soft brush and a little bit of toothpaste. There is no need to paint in a particular direction, just try to remove the little bits of food and clean the surface of the teeth and gums.
If your child does not like the taste of toothpaste, change to another brand or do not use. Toothpaste is not necessary if your child does not eat sugar, which is highly recommended. If he eats some candy at a birthday for example, brush your teeth after him or encourage him to finish the meal with a piece of cheese. To its third anniversary, make an appointment with the dentist to get your child to check his teeth.
When to worry?
Premature babies are often a few months longer than others to do their teeth. If your toddler still has no teeth to a year, talk to your doctor. If he has all the symptoms (many drooling, swollen gums) and seem to have very bad (inconsolable crying serve as clues), see your doctor. Teething should not be synonymous with intolerable suffering for a baby.
