Timing of teething in children

Baby teeth have specific teething order. On average, it takes from six months to 3 years.

  • lower and upper incisors - 6 months - 1 year
  • lateral incisors - 8-13 months
  • fangs - 1-2 years
  • lower molars (first and second) - 1 year-25 months
  • upper molars (first and second) - 13-25 months

Teething features

Signs of cutting out milk teethThe teething rate of a baby is individual and depends on the rate of formation of the root and the division of its cells.

Any artificial method to influence the process of teething is impossible. It is not necessary to trim yourself or in any other way to help the tooth erupt. What is it like very painful for the baby, so useless. Earlier, the teeth will not appear anyway, and your baby will not please you with a “toothy” smile.

If the baby's teeth grow in a timely and correct manner, then this indicates a normal development of the body. But it happens when “special” cases are observed when teething milk teeth. These may include color and improper tooth placement.

If the child’s teeth are colored yellow-brown, this may be a sign that his mother took antibiotics during pregnancy, while the teeth were just beginning to form.

When coloring in a yellow-green shade it is necessary to pay attention to bilirubin exchange (he is most likely broken). This may also indicate the death of red blood cells or liver disease.

A dark color on the neck of the tooth can be a sign that the child has congenital chronic diseases, or that iron preparations have been taken.

The red tint of enamel indicates that during pregnancy the mother took tetracyclide drugs. Or, in this case, we can talk about the pathology of the kid in the exchange of porphyria pigment.

Reasons improper tooth placement a child may have:

  • injuries;
  • small jaw size;
  • jaw tumors.

  • Baby toothbrush can be bought for a child from 1.5 years of age.
