Parents should not be anxious about their children’s slow teething

As the saying goes, pity the parents, and this is indeed true. It is really not easy to carry a child from October to bring him or her up. In chatting with some new mothers and fathers, one topic that often comes up is whether the child is teething or not. Many new mothers and fathers are nervous when their child is not teething when they think it’s time to do so based on their own experience. This is very understandable, but the child teething, there is also a learning curve inside, let us learn together! One, four factors that affect the child’s teething When the child does not teething on time, many parents will follow the experience, that there is a developmental problem, or the child’s nutrition did not keep up. In fact, the child’s slow teething is mainly affected by the following four factors: 1, congenital genetics According to research, family medical history, race and other genetic factors are the main key points to determine the child’s teething speed. There are also studies that show that the teething time of girls is earlier than that of boys. 2. Trauma and infection If a child’s milk teeth appear to be at different heights, it is possible that the child’s tooth area is damaged due to trauma. In this case, parents need to pay special attention because what appears to be a problem with a particular tooth can actually affect the eruption of permanent teeth. In addition, sometimes the medication taken by young children can thicken the gums, and when a child is slow to erupt, parents need to be primarily concerned about whether the child’s medication is the cause. 3, acquired environment In addition to genetic factors, the acquired environment is also an indirect factor that causes slow teething. Premature babies, and children born with low birth weight, are also likely to have the problem of slow teething. 4. Systemic diseases such as Down’s syndrome, pituitary secretion abnormalities, and ectodermal dysplasia syndrome may also cause differences in the rate of teething in young children. Parents should also be aware of these possibilities when their children are slow in teething.
