As soon as a child is born, loving and caring parents start to customize him under certain schedules and rules. Fortunately, various calendars of development and other similar things are full on the open spaces of the World Wide Web! Ah, is the neighbor's child already holding his head? So, our lagging behind, urgently to the doctor! Sometimes parents manage to create panic out of the blue, not knowing how many milk teeth children should have when they appear and when they fall out ...
It would be nice to understand that each child is individual, and in terms of "growing" teeth, among other things. Of course, there are certain norms, for example, it is known how many milk teeth in children grow by 2-3 years. By this age, the child has twenty teeth. But the rest of the nuances can quite sensitively vary depending on different conditions.
Typically, teeth begin to cut at the age of six months. But this is averaged, someone becomes toothy earlier (some babies are even born with teeth!), Someone later. Panic is not worth it, but if teething in a child is delayed for several months, it is better to consult a doctor. It is he who will say whether this is the result of a lack of vitamins or a physiological feature. By the way, if the parents erupted in their teeth late, most likely, children also should not wait for early teeth.
But it’s not only a painful question: “How many milk teeth in children is the norm?” excites many moms and dads. Other dental problems are also cause for concern. For example, at what age does the change of primary teeth in children begin . There are also very flexible terms. The child can lose the first tooth at 4 years and at seven. But more often it is the age of 5-6 years. Most often, at first the child "gets rid" of the lower teeth, and then from the upper. Usually, for the first class, most babies flaunt with holes in their mouths, so it’s worth worrying only when the milk tooth staggers for a very long time, but does not fall out. In this case, it is better to consult a doctor, since a cutting molar, unable to grow freely, can get out crooked or cause discomfort to the child.
From here another question naturally arises: is it necessary to remove milk teeth in children? As mentioned above, it is worthwhile to remove a staggering milk tooth if it causes pain, discomfort, interferes with eating or threatens the health of the future molar. Everything seems to be clear here, but what to do if the milk tooth is affected by caries? The answer to this question can only be given by the dentist after examination.
Most parents, unfortunately, believe that milk teeth should not be treated, much less removed. Like, they’ll fall out anyway! And completely in vain - after all, a sick milk tooth can not only infect future molars, but also seriously infect the body. The fact is that only erupted molars have fragile enamel, as a result of which they are more prone to caries. So it’s better to remove a bad tooth, fortunately, modern pediatric dentistry has many safe and effective means for painless treatment.
In general, it is not so important how many milk teeth a child has at six months or a year, they erupted sooner or later, the main thing is that they be healthy!
