What if the baby's first teeth are cut? This is a serious test for the baby and parents. What should I look for?
Practically in all families you can tell stories about how the crumbs were cut teeth. This seemingly so natural physiological process is accompanied by changes in the behavior of your baby. Milk Pervochki
Dairy called the first teeth of the child still Hippocrates. Mums, whose breast milk, unfortunately, is not enough, also do not despair. Modern milk mixtures are rich in vitamins, so the statement that the artificial teeth are cut later, has long been obsolete. Milk teeth (there are only twenty) begin to be filled from the 6-7th week of pregnancy. Check for the presence of rudiments of future teeth with a special method - radiovisiography. It is made for the purpose of a child's dentist.
There are cases when children were born with teeth. As a rule, this prevents the breast from sucking (it hurts my mother), so these teeth are removed. The first teeth begin to erupt from 3-4 months. But this does not mean that the tooth should "come out" immediately.
The timing of teething in babies can vary greatly. The surest sign that your tooth is about to appear a tooth is an increase in salivation. The baby's eyes are watering, he sneezes and snotches. However, everything is very individual. By the year the child should have 6-8 teeth, and by 2-2,5 years the formation of milk teeth (or milk bite, as experts say) ends.
A long absence of the teeth of the baby or, conversely, if the baby's teeth are cut too early - not yet cause for concern. Perhaps there is a small anomaly, due, for example, heredity. But in the presence of other signs, a greater delay in the timing of eruption may be associated with the manifestation of rickets. Consult with a pediatrician.
Upon examination, an experienced doctor will necessarily pay attention to the formation of the child's skeleton, if necessary adjust the nutrition. As for permanent teeth, their appearance is less painful. Teeth begin to change to permanent in 5 years, and this change ends in 12-13 years. Problems can be caused by "wisdom teeth", which appear at the age of 15 to 30 years, but before that, the newly emerged carapaces are still very far away. Pain and screaming in the middle of the night are also the cause, if the babies have their first teeth cut.
Mild toil
But this does not happen often. In most cases, because of the constant itching of the gums, the children become restless, moody, irritable, try to scratch the sore spot on any object, they can break the rhythm of sleep and wakefulness, there are problems with the stool, sometimes the kid refuses to eat at all.
Forcing a baby is, when his teeth erupt, absolutely not! The forces of his body are now aimed at "germinating" the tooth, and the food that you try to "cram" into the crumb will not be digested with difficulty. Let the child drink more, and as soon as the painful sensations pass, he will surely catch up. The baby can get fever. Feverish conditions, often accompanying children during this period, were also explained earlier by the fact that the teeth "climb" teeth.
We alleviate the pain
To make the process of teething less painful, the baby needs calcium. Cottage cheese, in which it is contained in abundance, is the best option for crumbs. But if calcium is not enough, the doctor will prescribe calcium preparations.
How to understand that the crumbs lack of calcium? Pay attention to the gums. Over the erupting teeth, the gum will look swollen, reddened, as if loosened. What if all the signs are present, and the tooth for a long time, for 1.5-2 months, does not want to appear, bringing suffering to the poor infant? In this case, the doctor will appoint a tablet of calcium, which must be taken according to a certain scheme.
In this difficult period for the child, offer him to chew or bite something hard or cold (the cold brings additional relief). In the pharmacies and stores are sold special teethers. Before giving their baby, the teethers cool (but do not freeze!) In the fridge. A gentle massage of the gums will make the baby's life easier. Affectionate mother with a clean finger massages the gums of her crumb, as if scratching them. If it does not help, use homeopathic medicines or anesthetic gels containing a local anesthetic.
Zubki already erupted? Hooray! But this does not mean that now you should not pay attention to them. Well, what kind of loving mother does not want her child, as in a fairy tale, to be all the nicer, all rosy and whiter? A radiant smile that shows beautiful, healthy, even teeth is an indispensable sign of beauty. So that your child does not suffer in the future, do not start your teeth in early childhood.
Healthy temporary teeth - a pledge of good permanent teeth.
In addition, the notion that "baby teeth will fall out anyway, so why bother with them" - is fundamentally wrong.
And it's not just caries, but also more complex issues related to biting and forming a proportional facial skeleton. Consult a dentist if something disturbs the baby. What kind of care does the mouth need? After a year, and in some cases before, it is recommended to remove the plaque from the teeth.
And do not let the baby suck fingers! This is not only unhygienic, but also helps to change the inclination of the teeth, which begin to grow forward.
Such a child during the period of changing teeth to permanent may need a consultation of an orthodontist.
As well as in adults , the state of teeth, of course, affects the nutrition of the baby, in the diet of which must necessarily be present foods containing calcium and vitamin D. It is established that calcium without vitamin D is not absorbed. Therefore, it is so important that the baby does not experience a deficit in the consumption of milk and fermented milk products. Do not forget about the egg yolk and oil (sources of vitamin D). Some mummies begin to give the child sweets almost from 1.5 years. The longer you do, the better! And not only from the point of view of dentistry, but also the state of the organism as a whole. Give children under 3 years of chocolate is not worth it at all. If you want something to sweeten a little (for example, kefirchik) use fructose instead of sugar. It is more useful than glucose and sucrose. Better give the baby berries and fruits (of course, those for which he does not have allergies). This is quite enough. After all, what is sweets? Only pampering and a source of extra carbohydrates. Your baby's teeth are choppy, uncomfortable? Caress and care of parents and especially mothers now he needs as air. Prygolte crumb: cry, crying and constant vagaries will spoil his character. Love your baby, take care of him, including his teeth, and your efforts will not be wasted. When he grows up, you will be convinced that you have done everything possible to make the child feel confident among peers and achieve success in life.
