Teething
If a cute little perfect little angel since birth,
has suddenly turned into a cranky, fussy, drooling, chews-on-
everything-in-site little monster then it may be beginning of the
process of teething. In this case the child then keeps one up half
the night, and needs to be held, bounced, and nursed all day long.
Typically between the ages of 4 and 7 months, you will notice your
child's first tooth pushing through the gum line as it is
seen clearly. The first teeth to appear are usually
the two bottom front teeth, also known as the central incisors
which are usually followed 4 to 8 weeks later by the four front
upper teeth which are also called as central and lateral incisors.
About a month later, the lower lateral incisors known as the two
teeth flanking the bottom front tooth which appear later. Most
children have all 20 of their primary teeth by their third birthday
which is a general rule; if your child experiences significant
delay, speak to your child's doctor.
Hygiene of teeth:
In very rare cases, children are born with one or two teeth or
have a tooth emerge within the first few weeks of life. Unless the
teeth interfere with feeding or are loose enough to pose a choking
risk, this is usually not a matter of concern for the parents. The
care and cleaning of your baby's teeth is important for long-term
dental health and it may pose a problem for life if not taken care
of properly. Even though the first set of teeth will fall out,
tooth decay can speed up this process and leave gaps before the
permanent teeth are geared up to come in. The primary teeth that
are remaining may then crowd together to attempt to fill in the
gaps, which may cause the permanent teeth to come in crooked and
out of place.
Other measures of teeth care:
Daily dental care should begin even before your baby's first tooth
emerges as is necessary for the overall health of baby. One should
always wipe your baby's gums daily with a clean, damp washcloth or
gauze, or brush them gently with a soft, infant-sized toothbrush
and water without toothpaste. As soon as the first tooth appears
one should brush them with water. In this way there can be a
complete tooth care for the child.
