Everything You Need To Know About Your Baby’s Teething ProcessWritten by Keziah Engineer
The teething process can be a difficult period for both baby and parents. The process starts at different ages depending on each baby but usually by age of 3 most infants have their primary teeth in place. If by one year your baby still has not got his first tooth it would be wise to see your doctor and dentist. There are 20 primary or “baby” teeth that every child has during their lifetime, with ten in upper jaw and ten in lower. Usually, appearance of baby teeth is as follows: upper and lower incisors come first, then upper lateral incisors come in a few months later, followed shortly thereafter with bottom lateral incisors. The top and bottom molars are next set to come through, usually right around 18 months. The cuspids, or eyeteeth, usually follow soon after molars. At approximately two, to two and a half years, second set of molars will appear. Usually there is no set order in which baby teeth appear – again this depends on individual baby. It is unusual for a child not to get all twenty teeth. Some babies can be born with a front tooth (this happens in about 1 in every 2000 cases). In this even it is wise to consult a paediatric dentist. This situation can affect breastfeeding process so a paediatric dentist should be consulted as soon as possible, especially if you intend to breastfeed. Here are signs that your baby may be teething:·Bulging gums – you’ll be able to see outline of teeth as they try and push through his gums. ·Nighttime crying and walking. ·More fuss than normal. · “Clingy" behaviour. ·An increase in amount of drooling seen. ·Chewing on fingers, teething rings, and other objects. ·Swollen, red, inflamed gums. ·Poor appetite. ·Interrupted sleep. There is some debate about this, but it is now generally accepted that teething will not cause fever, sleep issues or lower immunity to infection. Teething is very painful – if you have ever bitten inside of your cheek you know how painful this can be – now imagine a baby that is used to a soft smooth surface (gums) and suddenly she has a hard and sharp tooth pushing through her swollen gums. Generally it’s first tooth that will cause most discomfort. When babies are going through teething process they sometimes bring their hands to their mouths – this brings some relief when gums have pressure applied to them. You can gently massage your baby to reduce discomfort of teething – clean your fingers and rub gums firmly – this may be uncomfortable for your baby initially but she will get used to, and appreciate, massage more you do it. Give your baby something cool to chew on – this again provides relief for a little time. Wet washcloths (you can soak this in apple juice if you wish) that have been left in freezer for 30 minutes or so – can be given to your baby to chew. Just remember, whatever you use make sure that your baby cannot choke on it. Other things that your baby can chew on include a chilled banana or an iced Popsicle. An old wives tale remedy recommends that you dab some alcohol on your baby’s gums – it is strongly recommended that you do NOT do this.
