The first set of teeth, or at least the milk-teeth as they are called, is always 20 in number, and they usually appear in pairs. The lower jaw's teeth generally precede the upper ones. The first milk tooth typically erupts around the 6th or 7th month, and the last permanent tooth appears at various times between the 20th to the 30th year. Thus, the entire period occupied by the first dentition may be considered to last about one and a half to two years. However, this duration varies based on different factors, such as the full length of time and intervals when the teeth make their appearance.
It is not essential to add more details here. The progress of teething is usually a natural process. However, it can sometimes become unpleasant and difficult due to inaccuracies in care, government, and fitness, including the approach itself. It is often seen as a critical period akin to infancy. Despite this, mortality rates aren't necessarily traceable to a resource box, which might be rated differently for boys and girls.
Many parents worry that the initial dentition could pose a significant risk to the child. This is indeed a crucial question for concerned and loving mothers: how can the dangers and complications of teething be reduced, if not entirely stopped?
Here are some tips that might be integral to addressing this concern:
1. Control of the baby during teething:
- If the baby has a good constitution and is breastfed properly, the signs of teething are usually mild. Management becomes easy and moderate.
- Signs: There is often increased saliva production, swelling and heat in the gums, and flushing of the cheeks. The child may thrust its fingers or objects into its mouth. Thirst increases, and the baby suckles more frequently but for shorter periods. The baby may become restless, cry easily, have trouble sleeping, and show signs of nausea or loose stools.
2. Administration of the child when facing issues:
- In safe cases, common symptoms disappear within a day or two and reappear as the tooth approaches the gum line.
Treatment:
- The management of the child should be simple and rarely requires medical intervention. Ensure the baby gets plenty of fresh air and exercise. Handle the digestive system liberally to avoid constipation and keep it calm. Use cold sponging daily and rub the skin dry with a coarse flannel suitable for the baby's delicate skin. Breastfeeding should be frequent but not prolonged to reduce thirst, keep gums moist, and ease irritation. The mother should also take care of her own health and diet, avoiding stimulants.
