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 quite understandable, but there is also a lesson inside the child’s teething, so let’s learn it together! Four Factors Affecting Your Child’s Teething When a child is not teething on time, many parents will follow their experience and think that there is a developmental problem or that the child’s nutrition is not keeping up. In fact, children’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 to teethe. Teething performance 1, drooling: when teething, the baby’s oral saliva secretion will increase, forming the phenomenon of drooling; 2, chewing hard objects: during teething, the baby will feel the itchy gums, so they like to chew hard objects; 3, crying: the discomfort of teething will make the baby cry; 4, low fever: some babies will have a low fever phenomenon when teething.
