Teeth from the baby

You can not specifically answer the question, when teeth are cut in children. Terms of each child, you can only confidently say that the first teeth will appear during the first year of life. The very first ones usually show the lower incisors in the middle. It happens between six and nine months. Then the teeth appear two by one. Next are the upper central incisors, behind them - the central lateral incisors from below. Many people use the following formula to calculate the number of teeth that should be normal in a child: from the age of the baby in months, take four. But, we repeat, the non-coincidence of the real number of teeth with the calculated by this formula is not considered a deviation from the norm or even more pathology. In some, teeth are cut at three months, others have the first incisors appearing closer to the year. But when the child is three years old, he must have twenty grown baby teeth.

It is not necessary that when it comes time to prune the first teeth, your baby will have the most unpleasant symptoms in all its glory - temperature, cough, cold. It is likely that these ailments will bypass your karapuza.

A young mother, hearing the whims of a baby, often says to herself: "Well, it's teeth." However, there is a week, a month, another - and the long-awaited incisors did not appear. This is a fairly common phenomenon, and there is nothing to be done here.

When teeth are chapped, the symptoms can be very different. Most often, babies become unusually restless, capricious. However, some babies almost do not react to the appearance of teeth, and one morning you are surprised to find a white dot on the baby's lower jaw.

Often the symptom of teething becomes high fever. This is a problem for parents and, of course, a child, because because of the temperature the baby feels bad, why he is capricious and can not fall asleep. Mums, by inexperience, can decide that high fever, especially when combined with a cough, runny nose, nausea, cold, indicates the onset of the disease. But still, such a state, when the teeth are cut, is considered the norm, so do not overstay it. The fact is that during the appearance of milk teeth, immunity is greatly weakened, and many pathogenic bacteria are activated until the body can give them a full response. If you are going to instill a baby from any disease, then pay attention to the state of the crumbs - it's better if you decide to wait a little with the vaccinations.

Mom, whose children have recently grown teeth, note that not all teeth are erupted in the same way. The most painful are the upper incisors and chewing teeth. The upper ones are wide, and the chewing ones are deep enough in the jaw. Use a special gel or ointment to relieve pain and remove itching.

If the fever or other severe symptoms persist for a week or more, contact your pediatrician to rule out other causes of poor baby health. But such signs as anxiety, capricious mood can last up to several months - with small interruptions. Be patient, support the baby in this difficult for him and for you period. Take more often on handles, kiss and hug.

Note that it is usually noticeable for children and parents to erupt only the first 8-10 teeth, and the rest appear much "calmer," and checking the baby's mouth, you'll just find more teeth from time to time.

So, with the eruption of the teeth, the symptoms are very diverse. They can be more pronounced or almost invisible. It is important for parents to understand that teething is a natural process, and you can not get away from it anywhere. Do not take this as a serious test for the baby, if necessary - use special tools, gels for gums.
