What kind of teeth are cut first
The appearance of the first tooth is absolutelyan unpredictable phenomenon for every baby. First, the lower central incisors appear. The conditional norm for their appearance is considered to be the age of 6-8 months. Then - at 8-12 months - the upper central incisors follow. These are conditional numbers, many babies "violate" them. Deviation from the norm is not always considered a violation, but it is imperative to show the child to a doctor.Which teeth come in first: photo of lower incisors Photo: Getty There is a certain list stating in what order teeth should come in, which is considered normal (all numbers are given in months):
- Upper lateral incisors - 9-13.
- Lower lateral incisors - 10-16.
- The upper first molars are 13-18.
- Lower first molars - 14-18.
- The upper canines are 16-22.
- Lower fangs - 18-23.
- The upper second molars are 25-33.
- The lower second molars are 23-31.
This diagram is conditional, but by about 30 months, children already have all their baby teeth.
The main mistakes of parents
When the first tooth has already revealed itself, some parents make 2 common mistakes:
- Give the child products that, they think,relieve him of discomfort. It can be cookies, carrots, cabbage, etc. This is potentially dangerous, since the baby's first teeth have already erupted, but he has not yet learned how to chew food. Any product can crumble into several pieces, one of which the child will choke. There are special children's teethers - small toys designed for the period of the appearance of the first teeth. Often they have water inside. Before giving them to the baby, they are put in the refrigerator. The water freezes, and when the child "gnaws" the toy, the cold relieves it of discomfort and itching.
- They put the fingers in the mouth and press on the gums. So did great-grandmothers, but it will not bring any result, except that the baby will regurgitate a recent dinner.
Parents should be prudent in taking advantage ofboth modern means and traditional medicine. If you have any doubts about the chosen method, you should definitely visit a doctor before trying it on your child. The best option is to visit the hospital periodically until all the teeth have grown in.See also:
