Dates of teething table. What affects the appearance of milk teeth and how many should be

23.12.202027.05.2017

The initial stages of the formation of teeth in a child occur when he has not yet been born. At the age of six to seven months, the child begins to erupt the first milk teeth, although there have been cases of birth with teeth that have already appeared.

Teething in all children is almost the same. To find out the timing of teething will help you with the table of timing of teething of milk teeth in children.

The lower incisors grow first, they are located exactly in the middle of the jaw. This happens, as a rule, when the child is six months old. Behind the lower incisors, the upper ones appear, which are also located in the middle part of the jaw. By the age of 12 months, the lateral incisors from above and below have time to germinate alternately and in total 8 teeth can be counted. Do not be alarmed if a child suddenly has a little less or more teeth - this is quite normal.

During the next half of the year, "small molars" should appear. After 18 months, the canines begin to grow and fill the void between the small molars and lateral incisors. If the child's body develops without deviations, then all twenty milk teeth will erupt and form by the age of 3.

Table of the timing of the eruption of milk teeth in children

The order of the eruption of milk teeth in children		The timing of the appearance of teeth in children
	1. Lower central incisors	6-7 months
	2. Upper central incisors	8-9 months
	3. Upper lateral incisors	9-11 months
	4. Lower lateral incisors	11-13 months
	5. Upper first molars	12-15 months
	6. Lower first molars	12-15 months
	7. Upper canines	16-18 months
	7. Lower canines	18-20 months
	8. Lower second molars	24-30 months
	8. Upper second molars	24-30 months

Dates of teething in children table

Teeth do not necessarily grow one after the other. It may happen that several teeth erupt at the same time. The time of their germination can be extended in the case of various infections, diseases, digestive disorders and functions of the cardiovascular system.

Despite the fact that teething is accompanied by changes in the child's behavior, many parents do not notice this. The baby's salivation increases, he constantly wants to chew on something. When the tooth finally sprouts, the temperature may rise, a cold may pop out, or digestion may be upset. It is very important to make sure that the child does not put dirty things in his mouth - this can cause an infection and worsen his health even more.

How can I help my child with teething?

To relieve pressure in the jaw and irritation throughout the mouth, doctors recommend giving your baby something cool and hard. An ordinary crust of bread can serve as such an object. The crust should be taken moderately large so that the child does not swallow it, but can bite. If you don't have bread on hand, you can use fresh fruits or vegetables.

An apple or a cucumber will not only relieve pain, but also provide the child's body with vitamins and minerals. Also, recently, special cooling rings are often found in pharmacies, which are carefully sterilized and given to the child as a toy.

A special gum massage will help make teething less painful and faster.

Gently massaging the places where teeth will soon appear will not only relieve pain, but also calm the baby. Gently pressing down on the gums with a disinfected finger will improve the supply of blood and oxygen.

Simple wipes from the corners of the mouth to the nose will soothe the pain of erupting teeth. If the pain is severe and does not disappear, you can use special gels. Due to their composition, they serve as a mild anesthetic and relieve the child from pain.

When teething is particularly difficult, the baby may have a noticeable fever. If it exceeds the 38.5 ° C mark, it is worth giving a small dose of some antipyretic drug for children and be sure to go to the doctor. In case of intolerance to such drugs, there is an alternative way to lower the temperature - children's homeopathic suppositories. Put them on the time required according to the instructions, and the baby will feel better.

Often in young children, during the growth of the first milk teeth, irritation of the skin around the mouth is observed. It is caused by more intense salivation. High fat creams or baby lotions will help eliminate itching and burning.

Care of the first teeth

From the moment a child's teeth appear, they need careful care. For the first time, wiping them with a cotton swab is enough. When your son or your daughter has more than 10 teeth, feel free to start brushing them softly. Do this carefully, as there is a high risk of damaging the enamel and delicate gum tissue.

From two to three years old, teach your child to brush their teeth daily. At this age, it is already possible to add a small amount without fluoride.

While still in the maternity hospital, the mother receives all the necessary primary information on how to properly care for the baby in the first few months of life: bathing, feeding, walking with him, etc. At this time, it seems to parents that it is too early to think about teething.

But in caring for a child, time moves rapidly, and now the time comes when the baby's milk teeth begin to erupt. This time is marked by the first serious changes in the baby's body and is associated with quite serious discomfort, both for himself and for his parents.

When does teething occur?

In children, this is the most important milestone in the development of a child under one year old. Teething of milk teeth shows that a nursing baby has matured! Teeth usually erupt when a child is six months old. However, these boundaries are much wider. Milk teeth can erupt both early, in the third or fourth month of life, and late, in the eighth or tenth month. It must be remembered that the earlier the teeth erupt, the more careful care they need. It also happens that a child has several teeth from birth.

The appearance of milk teeth in a child may be accompanied by drowsiness, indigestion. In such cases, it is best to consult a doctor. However, not everyone has these symptoms. Perhaps they will bypass your baby.

The timing of the appearance of the first milk teeth in an infant

The time when a child's first milk teeth begin to erupt is quite difficult. During this period, the child becomes moody, constantly cries and shows anxiety. This is a difficult time both for the child himself and for his parents. The question arises of how you can help a baby in such a difficult period. Of course, there is simply no guaranteed remedy for getting rid of discomfort during teething. But still, it is quite possible to alleviate the child's condition, to minimize the negative manifestations of this process.

There is an important point that parents should consider. There is no single scheme and timing of teething in an infant. All written schemes are just a guideline. The body of any child is strictly individual, which means that every child's teeth will erupt in due time. Moreover, even if we are talking about twins (twins, triplets), it is not necessary that this process will begin at the same time.

Of course, there are some pediatric calculations, according to which the eruption process begins closer to 6 months of life. By the onset of a year, a child, according to the same statistics, should have about 6-8 teeth. However, this is not always the case. Even in a year there may be no teeth, and this is a variant of the norm. Naturally, what has been said is true only if there are no reasons preventing the onset of the process (disease, developmental anomalies, etc.).

Based on this, we can say that it is simply impossible to accurately determine the timing of the beginning of teething, since they are unpredictable.

To accurately establish the approximate start time of the process, you will have to take into account many external and internal factors, such as:

Hereditary factor (genetic characteristics).

Environmental conditions (climate).

The child's diet, quality and chemical composition of the water used.

The presence of pathologies of the endocrine system.

The quality of childcare and others.

If there is a delay in teething, we can talk about a physiological norm. But there is also a risk of the presence of pathologies associated with developmental disorders and congenital anomalies:

Adentia is a congenital pathology in which the rudiments of the teeth are absent. In this case, the teeth simply have nowhere to appear. You can determine the pathology using a radiovisiograph or X-ray.

Rickets is a predominantly childhood disease, the mechanism of which is the lack of the body's ability to absorb. As a result, the intake of calcium salts necessary for the growth and development of tissues (in particular bone tissue) is disrupted. For this reason, teeth may begin to erupt much later.

The tooth buds are laid in the first weeks of intrauterine development (approximately at 6-7 weeks). At this time, the mother may not even know about her pregnancy.

The order of teething in a child

Teething order already determined by nature. Usually the lower front teeth are erupted first, and then the upper ones. The entire teething scheme is shown in the diagram below. The fangs, indicated by the number 7 in the diagram, are the most difficult to grow, so protect your child from colds at this time. Milk teeth will be fully formed by the age of three.

Much clearer is the issue of the order in which teeth erupt. The teeth of the lower row - the central incisors - are erupted first. They can grow at the same time, or they can take turns. Following them, according to the principle of paired teeth of the same name, the upper incisors erupt.

Then lateral incisors begin to appear, first two lower, then two upper teeth. As a rule, children who have reached the age of one year already have all the incisors, 4 below, 4 above.

Then the canines begin to erupt, but they give way to future molars, therefore, in their place, so-called. "Dental gaps". Following the canines, the rest of the teeth erupt.

According to medical practice, teeth erupt and fall out according to the following pattern:

Central incisors. The lower ones are cut at 6-10 months, the upper ones - 7-12. Fall out at 6-8 years old.

Lateral incisors. The lower ones are cut at 7-16 months, the upper ones - 9-12 months. Fall out by 7-8 years.

Fangs. The lower canines erupt at the age of 16-23 months. The upper ones are at 16-22 months. Fall out at 9-12 years old.

First molars. The lower ones erupt at 12-18 months. The upper ones are at 13-19. Drop out at 9-11 years old.

Second molars. The lower ones erupt at 20-31 months. The upper ones - at 25-33 months, fall out at 10-12 years.

Teething scheme

A detailed diagram of teething is shown in the table:

By the time the child reaches three years of age, the child already has 20 teeth (incisors, canines, molars). However, everything is individual here too. All 20 teeth can erupt much earlier (at 2-2.5 years).

Sometimes in medical practice there are curious cases. So, a child was brought to an appointment with a pediatrician, whose 19 teeth erupted at the age of one and a half. The last of the teeth erupted only a year later.

How many milk teeth should a child have?

All parents who are not indifferent to their own children think about how many milk teeth a child should have. This question begins to bother them at the age of six months. The eruption of each tooth is often accompanied by sleepless nights, baby cries, fever, swelling of the gums and other unpleasant symptoms.

There should be twenty milk teeth in the baby's mouth by the age of two. They erupt gradually, with a certain sequence, although this process takes place for each child individually and the timing of the appearance of teeth may vary.

The narrower teeth in the front, which dentists call incisors, appear first. Then comes the turn of the molars - these are wide teeth located deeper in the mouth. Narrow teeth serve for biting off parts of food, and wide ones for grinding and chewing it.

First, the lower and upper central incisors will appear in the mouth, then the lateral incisors will erupt next to them. The next in line are the upper and then the lower molars. The penultimate milk teeth are the canines, and the second upper and lower molars complete the process of appearance.

Thus, in a child's mouth by about two years of age or older, 20 milk teeth will appear, which in the future will be replaced by a permanent dentition.

As for the increase or decrease in the number of teeth, this is extremely rare, since the rudiments of teeth appear even during intrauterine development. Polyodontia disease is a kind of mutation in the child's body, during which additional pairs of teeth form and begin to erupt in a person, or remain inside the jaw in the form of rudiments. Science knows a person with such a mutation, who erupted 232 teeth throughout his life. Polyodontia is a rare disease, so parents should not worry about this. In recent years, only a few cases of its occurrence have been registered.

How does the baby's body react to the appearance of the first teeth?

Teething process significantly loads all systems of the child's body. Therefore, despite all its naturalness and physiology, it is associated with quite serious discomfort and a number of unpleasant complications.

During the period of teething, the child's immunity is exposed to great stress and weakens. Therefore, you should not expose an already weakened body to the effects of infectious agents. This includes postponing all vaccinations and other medical procedures.

The external manifestations that are observed during teething are also individual and depend on the state of health of the child at a given time.

There are a number of symptoms that are most common. They can be considered as a kind of starting point and marker for the beginning of the process:

Increased saliva production.

Decreased appetite. Complete refusal to eat is possible.

Increasing the child's physical activity, the desire to grab everything, pull in the mouth and bite. The reason lies in the covering of the gums.

Increased irritability, sleep disturbances.

Increased saliva production

The increased production of saliva also contributes to the development of some associated symptoms. They can be informative markers of the beginning of the teething process.

The development of a runny nose (due to the fact that saliva enters the middle ear).

It is not so easy to independently distinguish the development of an infectious disease from teething. Often, in the early stages of an infection, at the moment when bacteria or viruses multiply most intensively, the general unfavorable condition of the child can be taken as the beginning of the appearance of teeth. Therefore, if two or more of the above manifestations are found, you should immediately consult a pediatrician.

How to help a child with teething?

Easing teething symptoms and general health of a child is not an easy task. Fortunately, there are some guidelines that can make the process less frustrating.

The first thing that can be done is to provide the child with specially designed "rodents".
Medicines for children with teething

The modern pharmaceutical market offers a huge number of tools to combat the unpleasant satellites of the teething process. This is no coincidence. Indeed, many of the drug-free methods of alleviating the condition of the child are not sufficiently effective. Of course, the uncontrolled use of medicines is unacceptable. Most of them contain lidocaine. Before use, you must consult a pediatrician.
Often, unknowingly, doctors prescribe Kamistad to children. However, Kamistad baby (a safe version of the drug for children) has not been produced for a long time, and ordinary Kamistad is contraindicated in children under 12 years of age.

The use of any drug is associated with the possibility of developing side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a specialist. In addition, parents must decide whether or not to use this or that drug, based on the child's health, general condition and other internal and external factors.

Main conclusions

It is forbidden to give a child sweet and sweetened, both before teething, and after. This can lead to development.
During teething, the baby needs more maternal care and attention than ever before. Therefore, one should not be afraid to spoil him. You need to put the baby to the breast more often, play with him and generally spend as much time as possible. Then this difficult time will be much easier to survive.

Any mother is looking forward to the first tooth of her little one, so it is interesting for almost all parents to know in what sequence the milk teeth will erupt. In addition, knowledge about how teeth climb is also important for assessing the correct development of a baby, because, having noticed some violations, dental problems can be prevented in time.

Timely erupted teeth are one of the indicators of the correct development of a child

Teething rules

Infant teeth usually appear in pairs. When a mother notices one new tooth in a baby, she needs to expect that his “brother” of the same name will appear in the near future. It happens that the crumbs are cut at the same time by 2 or 4 teeth.
In most children, teeth first erupt on the lower jaw.For example, the lower central incisors appear first, and then the same teeth at the top. The same situation occurs with molars and canines, and only the lateral incisors climb differently (they are first cut at the top).
The approximate number of teeth at a certain age is calculated on the basis of the following formula: "the age of the baby in months minus four." She suggests that on average, children have two teeth at 6 months of age, and all twenty teeth by 24 months of age.

For the opinion of Dr. Komarovsky about the first teeth and all the problems arising from their appearance, see the video:

Symptoms

Although teething is a physiological and natural process, it still burdens the child's body, causing discomfort and such manifestations:

Increased salivation.
Decreased appetite up to complete refusal of food.
The tendency to pull various objects into the mouth and gnaw them due to itching in the gums.
The appearance at the eruption site of swelling, redness and swelling.
Moodiness and irritability due to pain and itching.
Disturbed sleep.

Restless sleep is a sure sign that soon the first tooth will come out of the crumbs.

In some babies, others are added to such symptoms:

Increased body temperature (in most cases within + 37 + 37.5 ° C).
Runny nose and cough from excess saliva.
Slight liquefaction of feces.
Skin irritation on the chin and chest.

With teething, a subfebrile temperature can be kept for several days

Which teeth appear first?

The very first tooth that "hatches" in a baby is called an incisor. In most toddlers, it appears on the lower jaw, after which another incisor appears quite quickly nearby. These teeth are distinguished by narrow crowns and are designed to bite off food. Most often, they erupt at the age of 6-8 months, although in some toddlers, the first incisor begins to knock on the spoon at 3-4 months, and some mothers have to wait for the appearance of the first tooth only by the age of one year old.

In most cases, the first teeth look like this.

Teething sequence

Although the order of appearance of milk teeth is only approximate and may differ for each individual child, parents should focus on the following sequence:

The first teeth in most children, as we noted above, are central incisors, called “units” for their position in the dentition.
Further they are supplemented lateral incisors, which are called "two".
After the incisors, the time comes first molars,which in the dentition are "fours".
The next step is eruption of canines between lateral incisors and first molarstherefore they are called "threes".
The last among the milk teeth erupt are "fives", which dentists call second molars.

The average time for the appearance of milk teeth in the table

The process of eruption of each new milk tooth for different children is individual, however, if you look at the order and timing of the appearance of the first teeth in most children, you can see the average time frame for parents and pediatricians. Here is a table that shows the average time for the appearance of teeth, taking into account the sequence of their eruption:

In most children, the last milk teeth "hatch" by the age of 2-2.5 years.

When do baby teeth fall out?

The average time for the loss of milk teeth will be as follows:

The central incisors begin to wobble and fall out at the age of 6-8.
The prolapse of the lateral incisors is observed in children 7-8 years old.
The period for the first molars to fall out is 9-11 years.
Canines most often fall out between the ages of 9 and 12.
Second molars loose and fall out at 10-12 years of age.

An orthodontist, Ph.D., expressed her opinion regarding the replacement of milk teeth with permanent ones. Svetlana Nikolaevna Vakhney:

The order of eruption of permanent teeth

The first among the child's permanent teeth appear "sixes", that is, the teeth that are located in the dentition right after the second milk molars. They are called first molars, while milk molars are replaced by teeth called premolars. The first permanent molars erupt in children aged 6-7 years, and this happens, as a rule, before the first milk teeth fall out.

At the age of 6 or 7, central incisors appear on the lower jaw.
At the age of 7-8, the central incisors are cut in the child and in the upper jaw.
The lower "twos" are also cut at the age of 7-8 years.
The lateral incisors at the top are cut at 8-9 years old.
On the lower jaw, canines grow at 9-10 years old.
Upper canines appear in children 11-12 years of age.
The appearance of the first premolars in the upper jaw is observed on average at 10-11 years.
The period for cutting the first lower premolars is 10-12 years.
The second premolars at the top are cut in children aged 10 to 12 years, and in the lower jaw - at 11-12 years of age.
Second molars come out at the bottom at 11-13 years old.
The incision of the second molars in the upper jaw is noted at the age of 12-13.
Third molars in both the upper and lower jaw are cut over the age of 17.

Possible teething problems

The main problems that occur during teething are the violation of the timing of their appearance, as well as in the wrong sequence. In addition, since the appearance of new teeth lowers the child's immunity, the baby can develop:

Caries
Stomatitis
Abscess (retropharyngeal)

Why can eruption be delayed?

If the baby has not yet had a single milk tooth by the age of one, it is worth showing the child to the doctor and find out the reasons for this situation. They can be:

The influence of a hereditary factor.If mom, dad or other close relatives erupted teeth later than average, then the situation will be the same for the baby.
Lack of calcium, which also provokes rickets.
Lack of hormonesproduced by the thyroid gland.
Digestion problems and absorption of nutrients.
Lack of tooth buds.
Premature baby.
The development of an infectious disease.

Advice to parents on what to do and how to behave during teething is given by the Union of Pediatricians of Russia:

Gaps between teeth

Milk teeth appearing in a child under 3 years old can be located asymmetrically or with gaps between them. This is a variant of the norm if the entire dentition has not yet erupted. As soon as it is fully formed, due to active chewing, all the teeth will fall into place. Further, by the age of 6-7, when the change of milk teeth begins, gaps will again appear between the teeth, since the size of the permanent teeth is much larger. The appearance of such gaps should not bother parents.

Hello dear parents! Do you know what the terms of teething of milk teeth in children are? When to expect this period? It seemed that just recently you brought your baby home. The time has passed, constant pumping, experiences. These problems usually take the first 3-4 months after the birth of a baby. And now the baby smiles, turns over, cries less, sleeps better, but everything can be overshadowed by one important event in the life of every little man - teething.

Each mother is anxiously awaiting the onset of this moment, armed with special gels, ointments, anticipating the constant tantrums of the child. But is it really so? Does the appearance of teeth always cause so much torment for a baby? Let's deal with the timing and behavior of the baby during this period!

If we take the statistics of the WHO (World Health Organization), then on average, the first teeth begin to appear in children at six months. But in fact, these boundaries are much wider. Someone has this moment earlier - already at 4 months, and someone is late, and the first milk teeth are shown only by the year, sometimes even later.

Dear parents, remember that all these timelines are blurry. Each child has its own anatomy, his body is individual, which means that each child's teeth can come out at different times. This is also confirmed by Dr. Komarovsky.

Watch the video of Dr. Komarovsky about the first teeth:

I will give you an example of my daughters. The older daughter showed her first tooth at 1 year and 15 days, but by the age of two she was smiling with a full set of teeth. In the youngest, the first tooth came out as early as 5, 5 months, and the rest came out gradually, and not all at once.

What about the twins? Do they have the same process? Gemini are two different people, so their teeth, too, may have erupted at different times.

Some pediatricians, examining a child a year, claim that according to the WHO, he should already have at least 6 teeth. Mommy, where are you looking? What are you waiting for? Running to the dentist, drinking calcium, eating cottage cheese in kilograms, and so on. And after all, many run, and then feed the baby with medicines. I have already gone through all this, so believe me, the less you panic, the stronger the nervous system you and your child have.

Of course, there are some abnormalities that prevent teething, but these are usually very rare. I'll tell you about them now.

What factors affect the timing of teething?

How you care for your baby;
The diet of the crumbs, as well as the quality of the water;
Genetic predisposition;
Endocrine system problems;
Climate.

There are some diseaseswhich can delay the appearance of the first teeth;

Rickets - a disease that indicates that the child's body is not yet able to fully absorb vitamin D. As a result, the body of the crumbs does not receive the required amount of calcium salts, as a result of which a delay in the appearance of teeth may be caused.

Adentia - a rare congenital disease that involves the absence of tooth buds. They just have nowhere to come from. Pathology is detected by means of an X-ray or a radiovisiograph.

In what order do teeth appear?

If we speak according to "Feng Shui", then the front lower "pliers" are cut first, and then the upper ones. A detailed table is presented below. However, this procedure and terms are not always observed. The eldest daughter was the first to get out the upper pair of teeth, so do not be alarmed if yours is not the same as according to the scheme.

The central incisors tend to come out first. They can grow in turns , or maybe separately. The upper incisors follow.

After these teeth have come out, the fangs erupt. During this period, one should try to protect the child from any infections. Then other teeth come out. As a result, by the age of three, the child should have a full set of milk teeth, which is as much as 20 pieces. As a rule, this moment comes earlier - up to 2, 5 years.

There are also curious cases when nineteen teeth erupt up to one and a half years, and one tooth climbs for a whole year.

What happens to the baby during the teething period?

During this entire period, the body of the little man is very heavily loaded. Despite the fact that this is a natural and physiological process, it causes serious discomfort and a number of unpleasant complications. Consequently you should cancel vaccination falling out for the period of eruption.

There are certain symptoms by which you can determine the imminent eruption. They can talk about the approach of this process:

Profuse salivation;
Low appetite, or even a complete rejection of your favorite food;
Swelling, swelling of the gums;
Increased physical activity of the baby. He wants to pull everything into his mouth, bite. This is a consequence of itchy gums;
Sleep disturbances and excessive irritability are observed;
Vomiting and diarrhea are possible.

I will tell you about these symptoms in more detail, since your task is to distinguish them from the signs of the disease.

Excessive salivation

Of course, all small children saliva constantly. However, during the period when the first teeth appear, it will form and flow in "liters".

Because of this runny nose may appear as saliva will enter the middle ear. But due to its falling into the throat, the baby may cough and wheeze, especially when lying down.

In addition, you will notice skin irritation in the place where saliva gets on it (chin, chest, cheeks).

Excessive irritability

The most common sign of the appearance of teeth is the increased irritability of the baby.

Him gums constantly itch , and this itching can also move to the nose, cheeks, ears. Because of this, the child is constantly nervous and crying.

Diarrhea and vomiting

You should be very careful about these symptoms. They can talk about the addition of an infection that leads to rotavirus, adenovirus, and others, which have a common name - intestinal flu. Diagnosis only a doctor can supply .

If diarrhea with vomiting in a child occurs infrequently (one-time), then perhaps the child is really teething.

General malaise with fever

Very often these two signs indicate the imminent appearance of the first "nippers" of the baby. As a rule, the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees. It is caused by inflammation of the mucous membrane. The rates usually subside after a few days.

Many mothers, especially with their first children, cannot distinguish the first signs of the appearance of teeth from a common cold. That is why I advise at the slightest suspicion of a cold or if at least a few symptoms occur contact a pediatrician .

Can you help a child during this difficult period?

Of course, any mother wants to help her child, especially if he is constantly crying. However, this is not an easy task. Fortunately, there are some guidelines for making your teeth grow more enjoyable.

Purchase special teether toys... Their baby will chew. Do not be afraid that he gnaws them - there are no teeth yet. Inside the toy there is a gel or liquid filler. It is best to give the toy chilled. Just put it in the refrigerator for a while, and then let your baby chew. It will soothe irritated gums .

Bottle and pacifiers... These gizmos will also satisfy the need for chewing. However, keep in mind that you will then need to wean your child from them. If you have already decided on dummies, then give preference orthodontic nipplesmade of latex or silicone (as pictured):

Gum massage... You can do it with a special finger brush or gauze swabs dipped in water. This will also help you do your oral hygiene.

Can medication be used?

Now almost every pharmacy has a large selection of drugs that will help to cope with the signs of teething. IN many of them include lidocaine soothing the gums.

However, you should consult your doctor before using them.

Here is a list of these remedies:

Calgel;
Dantinorm baby;
Dentinox;
Solcoseryl;
Holisal;
Kamistad.

Inflammation can be relieved by a decoction of medicinal herbs such as chamomile, sage, calendula. These are safe analogues of medicinal ointments and medications. After the crumbs have the first teeth, start brushing them special brush and paste marked 0+ .

Take a look, for example, at the range of baby brushes:

Remember that during this difficult period the baby needs mother's love and affection more than ever. You need to apply him to your chest as often as possible if he is on the GW, play with him more often and spend more time. Together, you can survive all the unpleasant symptoms.

Teeth in children, the order of eruption is a physiological and individual process. If it proceeds normally, then it does not lead to any disorders of the body that require certain care and treatment.

The timing of the eruption of primary teeth is generally accepted and approved by the WHO (World Health Organization).

According to this data:

at 6 - 7 months, the eruption of the central lower incisors begins;
at 7 - 8 months, the opposite upper incisors appear;
at 8 - the process of emergence of the upper lateral incisors begins;
at 10 - 12 months - the period of time that falls on the growth of the lower lateral incisors.

Thus, by the end of the first year of life, a child should have eight milk teeth. Some babies celebrate their first birthday without teeth. They should exclude endocrine disorders, changes in metabolic processes, as well as a lack of calcium and vitamin D3 intake into the body.

Historical fact: teeth have been called milk teeth since the time of the healing of Hippocrates. He naively believed that teeth come from breast milk.

The timing of the teething of milk teeth in a baby (as well as the order of teething) is an individual indicator, which is influenced by the characteristics of intrauterine development, the mother's nutrition during pregnancy, the timing of the introduction of the first complementary foods to the baby, as well as his genetic data.

If teeth appear earlier or later, is it worth worrying?

Violation of the sequence of development of one or more teeth or the appearance of teeth later than the due date is a reason for consulting a specialist. A noticeable delay in the growth of teeth or their absence can be considered as a consequence of any disease.

First of all, rickets should be excluded, taking into account the degree of closure of the large fontanelle, the presence of ossification nuclei of the femoral heads and laboratory tests.

However, it is wrong to consider this order of tooth growth in children as a deviation. In each case, a specialist consultation is required.

There are known cases of the birth of children with teeth. This phenomenon is facilitated by genetic characteristics and increased calcium content in the diet of a pregnant mother.

The procedure for the eruption of milk teeth in children after a year has its own characteristics. The appearance process usually lasts up to three years:

at 12 - 15 months the first molars appear on the upper and lower jaws;
at 15 - 20 months - canines on the upper jaw;

They are sometimes referred to as "eye teeth". This name is due to the fact that they are close to the endings of the optic nerve. Therefore, pain and lacrimation are most pronounced precisely when erupting canines.

at 16 - 22 months, the canine teeth germinate on the lower jaw;
18 - 24 months is the period of time when the second milk molars come out, sometimes closer to 36 months.

The timing of the eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth is not accidental. Due to the antagonistic growth of the teeth, the correct bite is formed.

Signs of teething in a child

The child's condition cannot be called a disease, however, parents are not ready to understand the situation and correctly assess the need for further examination, examination and treatment of the baby.

The growth of teeth can be accompanied by certain symptoms:

insignificant increased body temperature;
runny nose, usually mucous or serous in nature. There is no need for its treatment, it is permissible to use sea water to cleanse the nasal passages. The use of decongestants (vasoconstrictor drugs) only for sleep and sucking disorders in a child, with the permission of a pediatrician;
coughoften sparse and moist. This is a protective reaction of the child's body when mucus enters the pharynx, coughing prevents nasopharyngeal streaks, less pronounced when the position of the baby's body changes from horizontal to vertical;
mild gastrointestinal upset, namely loose stools. Associated with the ingestion of copious amounts of saliva. In the presence of this symptom, you can adjust the child's nutrition, add rice soup or porridge, resort to the use of sorbents;
sleep disturbancemood changes;
lack of appetite;
profuse salivation... The appearance of this symptom is often not associated with the growth of teeth. From about 3 months, the salivary glands begin to work more actively, and teeth erupt more often after 6 months;
occasionally, when thick mucus hits the root of the tongue, it develops vomiting... But with more frequent manifestations (after eating, for example), you should consult with a specialist;
rash around the mouth... Most often, its appearance is associated with high humidity and mechanical irritation. However, a dangerous complication can be the development of an infectious disease - such a skin disease as streptoderma;
one of the local signs of tooth growth is pronounced swelling of the gums, its redness, local increase in temperature and the formation of hematomas. At this moment, the child's need to gnaw on any object, toy, pacifier increases, which can lead to the appearance of symptoms (aphthae, white plaque). To prevent these problems, the child's toys should be boiled and processed more often.

During teething, small objects should not be in the child's field of vision due to the danger of swallowing or inhaling them.

Walking and grooming during the growth of milk teeth

Another question from curious parents: is it necessary or not to continue walking in the fresh air, and is it worth bathing a child when teething?

in order to determine further principles for caring for a baby, you should evaluate the overall body temperature. If it is normal or there was a slight increase in it in the first half of the day, then in the evening it is worth giving the child a hygienic bath;
if a rash appears on the face, then special attention must be paid to the hygiene of this area in order to avoid the ingress of bacteria and fungi on the damaged skin;
we also continue walking in the fresh air in the absence of an increase in body temperature and taking into account the peculiarities of the weather.

Fresh air helps the child's body to avoid viral and bacterial complications and to recover sooner.

Teething agents

If the above in children violate the general condition of the child, then you should help the baby in such a situation. It is possible to reduce pain and inflammation in the gums with the help of anti-inflammatory drugs with analgesic effect, homeopathic remedies in tablets, suppositories or ointments, anesthetic gum gels.

All drugs should be used according to instructions and after in-person consultation with a pediatrician or dentist.

In addition, you can apply cool gauze compresses to the gums, massage the gums for 1 - 2 minutes, or give chilled teethers, which can have a short-term but positive analgesic effect. In addition, the child should be given to drink soothing teas based on chamomile or other herbs with a sedative effect, allowed by age.

For the first time, infusions of herbs should be given to a child drop by drop in order to avoid allergic reactions of an immediate type (Quincke's edema, urticaria).

When is the doctor's help needed?

Often, the baby's parents have to deal with the signs of teething on their own, but only a pediatrician can reliably differentiate them with the symptoms of the development of an infectious disease.

During the growth of teeth, there is a decrease in local immunity in the oral cavity. Since it is the entrance gate for many viruses, the risk of infection by them increases significantly. Often under the guise of "teething syndrome" rhinitis occurs and, parents should remember this.

There are several "reasons" for going to the pediatrician:

purulent runny nose;
over 38.5 ° С, more than 3 days in a row;
the formation in the oral cavity of aphthae, candidiasis plaque, volumetric hematomas on the gums, profuse bleeding at the site of tooth crawling;
lingering cough, more dry;
loose stools with pathological impurities, more often 5 times a day.

Parents should be aware that the process of teething is not a reason to miss pediatric examinations at epicrisis periods and violate the vaccination schedule. Only during an objective examination, the doctor can assess the general condition of the baby and, if there are any contraindications, to transfer vaccination and prescribe treatment for pathological symptoms. That is, in itself, the so-called "teething syndrome" is not a reason for refusing vaccination.

Catering and dental care

The appearance of the first incisors is a sign for the mother that the child should receive food in the form of pieces. You can grind with a fork, not a blender. The appearance of milk molars on both jaws indicates that the child needs to be given a harder food that needs to be bitten.

In addition, the first teeth are a reason to purchase means for cleaning teeth: brushes and children's pastes, enriched with protective components for the enamel of milk teeth. Pastes have a certain composition, amount of fluoride, sugar, preventing the development of caries and other lesions of dental tissues.

Brushes for milk teeth should be chosen from natural bristles, with soft bristles, and a comfortable handle. Both mothers and babies themselves can use silicone thimbles.

Taking care of your teeth from the first days of their appearance is the key to the correct development of healthy permanent teeth in the future.
