What kind of teeth are cut first
The appearance of the first tooth - absolutelyunpredictable for every baby phenomenon. First cut the lower central incisors. The conditional norm of their appearance is the age of 6-8 months. Then - at 8-12 months. - the upper central incisors follow. These are conditional figures, many kids "break" them. Deviation from the norm is not always considered a violation, but it is necessary to show the child to the doctor.

- 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 scheme is conditional, but by about 30 months. the children already have all the milk teeth.
The main mistakes of parents
When the first tooth has already found 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, usingboth modern means, and folk medicine. In case of doubt in the chosen method, it is necessary to visit the doctor before testing it on the child. The best option is to visit the hospital from time to time until all the teeth grow. See also:
