The baby has not yet been born, and in his gums, dental firstfruits are already developing. Everything related to teeth is very important for every person, and therefore requires attention from childhood.
Milk teeth in children begin to appear up to a year, at a time when the baby is three or four months old. But there are exceptions when the first teeth are shown only by the year. Everyone has different things, but by the age of one and a half, as a rule, the child has more than a dozen teeth.
With the advent of teeth, the baby begins to more readily bite solid food, although it is not yet able to chew it thoroughly and for a long time. This circumstance must be taken into account when solid products are given. Although the teeth are there, the child can bite off a bite, but then spit it out without chewing. The reason for this is that he just gets tired of chewing, and the maximum that he can do is to overpower two pieces of solid food. Parents will have to grind everything else. It is important to know that the ability to chew solid food does not depend on the number of teeth, but on how developed the masticatory muscles. And milk teeth in children develop much faster than the above muscle groups.
Milk teeth in children, the number of which by the age of 2.5 already reaches 20, requires careful care. After all, they, like indigenous ones, are subject to caries. This in turn can lead to many problems. For example, a bad tooth will have to be removed, which means that everyone standing nearby will begin to gradually connect. This will greatly complicate the eruption of new molars. In addition, dental diseases lead to a malfunction in the digestive tract and to the appearance of diseases such as gastritis, colitis and even an ulcer. The reason for the timely treatment of decay of deciduous teeth is that all processes, including painful ones, in such teeth occur much faster than in molars. And therefore, a diseased milk tooth can completely decay in a fairly short time.
Milk teeth in children should be an object of close attention, since much depends on their development and health in the baby's body.
The first teeth largely determine the position of the molars. There is such a thing as a right or wrong bite. All violations of this must be identified as early as possible, so that it is easier to correct the displacement in the bite. Ideally, even if there are no problems with the teeth, a child should be taken to the dentist to check the condition of the teeth and bite, approximately once every six months. Caries prevention and oral hygiene are also needed. All this contributes to the fact that milk teeth in children will be healthy.
In the period from 6 to 12 years, there is a loss of milk teeth in children. This is a special event, both for the baby and for his parents, as it indicates that the child is starting to grow up. In addition, it is interesting, and the little man is always aware of how many teeth he lost, and how many his friends have. The process of falling out is absolutely painless, and often quite sudden.
After the milk falls out, a molar begins to erupt in its place. And if the shift to 7 years does not occur, then it is also necessary to consult a pediatric dentist. The problem may be that the molars begin to work their way, without waiting for the loss of milk, and becoming in the second row. If the absence of the shift process is started and nothing is done within two months, then quite serious biases can occur. Here you need to know that teething may be delayed due to a recent illness, which again suggests that an experienced consultation is indispensable. Since only a doctor can tell whether it is worth worrying in this or that situation or not.
The main thing from all of the above is that you should not forget to visit the dentist from early childhood, and serious problems can be successfully avoided.
