As with the artificial and breastfeeding type, the correct position of the baby's head during feeding, its duration (about 15 minutes) plays an important role. If we talk about children, "artificial", it is very important to choose the right nipples during the period of growth of the baby's teeth (quality and age).
It's abnormal ...
If you make an x-ray of the jaws of the newborn, then in each of them you can see follicles - temporary and 8 permanent teeth. All of them are not yet fully formed and are at different stages of mineralization.
The eruption of the first milk teeth begins at approximately 6-7 months. But this does not mean that the teeth will start to appear in your crumbs exactly at these times. This physiological process depends on a variety of causes and proceeds unequally even among blood brothers and sisters. The timing of eruption can be influenced by hereditary factors, habitat, the state of health of the baby.
In children born before the term, teething during periods of tooth growth in toddlers depends on the degree of prematurity. At born very tiny (3-4 degree) teeth can appear and in 2 month. In general, a delay in eruption is observed in 25% of children. If the teeth are not erupted in pairs, this indicates a violation of the mineral metabolism in the body.
Bottle caries
Milk teeth are covered with a more thin layer of enamel than permanent teeth, therefore caries develops much faster. Caries of anterior teeth of babies is otherwise called "bottle". When irrational artificial or mixed feeding, a bottle with a sweet milk mixture or juice is offered to children before bedtime, creating favorable conditions for the reproduction of bacteria. Dental plaque plays a significant role in the development of caries. It is very important to monitor the condition of the baby's gums. The degree of their inflammation, the stage of teething depends on the availability of oral hygiene skills.
Such a pain
Erection is a complex and often painful process for the child, but still physiological in the period of tooth growth in the baby. Diarrhea, fever, anxiety can not be explained solely by the process of eruption. After all, the appearance of teeth often coincides with the introduction of the first complementary food, the first attempts to sit, stand and even crawl. That is why the doctor first of all should correctly determine what exactly is associated with malaise. Pediatricians agree that the old diagnosis of "dental fever" is untenable.
Milk formula
As a rule, during periods of tooth growth in a baby, teething occurs at certain times, in a certain order and in pairs. According to the average rates per year, the child should have 8 teeth. In this case, and the presence of only 2-4 or teeth is not a serious deviation. The formula "N-4" calculates the number of teeth that must be cut to a certain age. "N" in this case is the age of the child in months. For example, at 15 months, the children already erupt 5 teeth. Proceeding from this formula, all temporary teeth should appear in crumbs by 2 years. A later eruption - to 2.5 and even - is not considered a pathology and, as a rule, due to the individual developmental features of the baby.
One of the most frequent signs of the rapid appearance of teeth during the period of tooth growth in a baby is increased salivation. In the same period the baby becomes capricious, pulls everything in his mouth, bites. To facilitate itching, you can use teethers or smear gums with gel containing anesthetic.
Prevention is the best tactic
Proper care for the mouth cavity is necessary from birth, and do not forget about it and during the period of teeth growth in the baby. In the first months of his life, a simple examination of the mucosa is sufficient. If it is pale pink, without redness, then there is no cause for concern. Immediately after the opening of the first incisor, it is time for the parents to take up the brush. To clean a tooth it is necessary daily, it is desirable in the evening, before a dream. Doctors recommend using a special brush that you can put on your finger. And to make it more convenient, try to use dental foam. This is an excellent alternative to pasta and rinse. It recently appeared on the market, but the convenience in use made it popular with moms.
Let's bristle!
When the baby's mouth appears the 8th tooth (about a year), they will need to be cleaned 2 times a day - as is known, in the morning and in the evening.
For the period of tooth growth the baby should use a special brush with a soft or very soft bristle (Soft or Extra Soft) and a small head (about 15 mm) for cleaning. It is believed that already in 2-2,5 years you can introduce crumbs with taste of dental gel. According to experts, gel pastes provide a softer cleansing, without traumatizing the enamel of the baby teeth. Therefore, they are recommended to preschool children and junior schoolchildren. In addition, they are pleasant to the taste and attractive appearance. Instead of fluorine, they use more and more useful enzymes (enzymes).
How to make a crumb brush your teeth?
To attract a baby to brushing his teeth and make him not perceive it as hard labor, choose the right brush.
Let it be:
with an unusual pen that can gradually change its color. To see this miracle, the child will have to brush his teeth for 2-3 minutes, as doctors recommend;
with a rattle. This brush makes sounds with the right, vertical, movements, and "silent" with the wrong, horizontal.
Composition of the paste
While kids learn new wisdom, they swallow up to 4% of toothpaste. Substances useful for enamel can harm if they are "there".
Therefore children's pastes and gels contain less fluoride or do not contain it at all, and their ambrasiveness (frothiness) is much lower than that of "adults".
Fact
Are the teeth transmitted by inheritance? Some features of the structure of the oral cavity - yes. Such, for example, as a gap between the incisors, protruding forward incisors, long fangs.
With the fact that the baby's teeth will grow, there are a lot of signs. For example, if there is a cleft between the upper ones, it must be left. It turns out that these people do not have problems with money, and they are lucky all their lives.
Tip
During meals, immediately after a sweet meal, give the children raw vegetables and solid fruits. Abundant salivation, which occurs when a child gnaws an apple, and the need to chew it thoroughly - training the dental system and disinfection of the oral cavity.
Tooth Fairy and the Mouse
In Europe, the loss of baby teeth in children is associated with the image of the Tooth Fairy. For this sorceress, they leave their fallen milk teeth under the pillow or in a glass of water. In the morning in return for the missing tooth cubs find coins or small gifts left by the night visitor. The anticipation of a miracle allows babies to easily endure the troubles associated with the change of teeth.
In Russia, from time immemorial, they offered the child to throw the fallen milk tooth out for the stove, in the fire, in the cellar or in the corner, so that the mouse-norushka would take it. It was necessary to transfer the tooth through the head and ask for the old tooth instead of the "old bone", "stone", "white as silver" ... It was believed that if this was done, a new healthy tooth quickly and painlessly grows.
Love the dentist
To the future mother for the benefit of the teeth of the crumbs and their own, one should love the visits of the dentist. If you did not go to the doctor before pregnancy, then it is worth doing it at the earliest possible "interesting position". The dentist will assess the condition of your teeth, remove possible minor flaws, but more significant problems should be resolved in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Fact
To form the teeth, calcium, fluoride, phosphorus, vitamin D and group B are important. The need for a pregnant woman in them increases by 30%.
Waiting for the baby
The future teeth of the crumbs are affected by how mom felt during pregnancy, what she ate, than was treated.
Underdevelopment of tooth tissues during the period of tooth growth in a baby, as a rule, enamel can be associated with toxicosis and Rh-conflict, rubella and toxoplasmosis, suffered during pregnancy.
The yellow hue of the entire enamel or brown spots on individual teeth is associated with the use of tetracycline antibiotics in the second half of pregnancy. The appearance of porcelain stains or chalk strips on the permanent teeth of the baby arises from excessive intake of fluoride.
