Complete eruption of the first milk tooth usually occurs between 6 and 9 months of age. Although some babies show the tips of their baby teeth as early as 3 months of age, complete eruption usually occurs around 6 months of age (later). The eruption of baby teeth follows a certain order (see the chart below), but there is no need to be overly strict about it, as the order of eruption does not affect the development of teeth, with 20 baby teeth coming out between 2 and 3 years old. The “signs of eruption” usually appear a month or two earlier, and if they are not treated appropriately, the symptoms may be delayed for a longer period of time. The “signs of teething” vary from person to person, but the symptoms are as follows: 1. Extraordinarily large amount of saliva. Tooth eruption will stimulate the secretion of saliva (saliva), the amount varies from person to person. Some babies have more saliva, the skin around the mouth is constantly soaked by saliva, may grow a rash or even rough and cracked; 2, chewing on anything put into the mouth. From biting his own hand, to biting his mother’s nipple, and even biting a stranger’s finger, “biting” is not because of hostility, but because biting hard to release the pressure inside the gums, so that he feels more comfortable; 3, the gums are red, swollen and painful. You can see bruised or swollen gums, with occasional bleeding spots. Swollen gums can spread to the area around the ears and cheeks, especially when the molars are growing, and the baby may have little movements of pulling the ears and rubbing the cheeks; 4. There may be irritability and irritability. As the baby’s teeth slowly come out of the gums, the pain may increase and the baby may have difficulty expressing the pain and often become irritable and seem to feel less well behaved than before; 5. When teeth are erupting, sucking and chewing often aggravate the pain in the gums. Although the baby would like to have a good meal, the pain will make him refuse food, which is the most frustrating thing for parents; 6. It may affect sleep. Teething not only affects daytime activities, but likewise sleep at night. The most likely time for eruption to affect sleep is when the first teeth and molars are coming in. The pain can cause the baby to wake up suddenly during the night, and nighttime milk will not comfort him at all. Symptoms such as fever and diarrhea may occur during teething. Although they are not directly caused by teething, it is important to treat them as a medical condition and seek medical attention if necessary. To give careful care to your baby during the teething period: 1. Gently massage your baby’s gums with a clean finger (or wear a finger sleeve); 2. Give your baby something cool with some hardness to massage the gums. Before the baby’s teeth erupt, you can give frozen carrot or cucumber sticks, but after the baby’s teeth erupt, you can’t use them, so that the baby won’t choke on the carrot/cucumber that he/she bites down; 3, because of the swollen and painful gums, the baby doesn’t want to eat hot or warm (room temperature) food, so give the baby some cool food; 4, add supplementary food on time, but to relieve the swollen and painful gums, still give the baby some cool liquid, semi-liquid or soft food appropriately . The bottle baby can appropriately adjust the pacifier hole larger, in order to easily drink and not choke milk as appropriate, really do not want to suck, can be changed to drink with a cup or spoon; 5, pay attention to the cleanliness of the milk teeth, after the meal to the baby rinse mouth with water, the best in time to brush teeth; 6, clean the skin around the mouth, with a soft towel dipped in water to wipe away the saliva, can be applied a small amount of baby lotion to avoid skin chapping; 7, let the baby drink more water; 8, the first Milk teeth erupted after the start of regular visits to the dentist.
