1. The formation process of deciduous teeth
Human deciduous teeth begin to form during the fetal period, and generally begin to grow around 6 months before birth. The formation process of deciduous teeth includes three stages: tooth germ formation, healing and calcification. During the tooth germ formation stage, the shape and number of deciduous teeth will vary due to genetic factors and maternal nutrition.
2. The growth pattern of baby teeth
Babies are born without teeth, but around 6 months after birth, the first deciduous tooth will grow. Then, at 12-18 months, the second baby tooth will come in, followed by the other baby teeth. Normally, between the ages of 2 and a half to 3 years old, a baby will have 20 deciduous teeth.
3. How to take care of your baby’s deciduous teeth
After the baby’s first deciduous tooth erupts, parents need to start paying attention to oral hygiene issues. You can use a wet towel or soft-bristled brush to gently wipe the baby\’s mouth and tongue, and give the child appropriate water to clean the mouth. In addition, parents should also monitor their children\’s sugar intake and avoid excessive consumption of sugary foods.
4. Loss of deciduous teeth and growth of permanent teeth
When a child reaches the age of 5-6, deciduous teeth begin to gradually fall out, making way for permanent teeth. The growth process of permanent teeth is similar to that of deciduous teeth, but they are more numerous and more complex in shape. At this stage, parents should pay attention to their children\’s oral hygiene issues and help their children brush their teeth correctly.
5. How to deal with your baby’s oral problems
During infancy and early childhood, babies may develop some oral problems, such as dental caries, bad breath, etc. Parents can prevent and solve these problems by taking their children to the dentist regularly, eating well, and practicing good oral hygiene habits.
6. The importance of children’s oral health
Childhood is an important stage for oral health. Good oral hygiene habits can prevent problems such as dental caries and have a positive impact on the child\’s future physical health. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children\’s oral health and help their children develop good oral hygiene habits.

Baby teeth begin to form during the fetal period and generally begin to grow around 6 months after birth. A baby will have 20 deciduous teeth between the ages of 2 and a half to 3 years old. Parents need to pay attention to oral hygiene issues, their children\’s sugar intake, and help their children develop good oral hygiene habits. When a child reaches the age of 5-6, the deciduous teeth gradually begin to fall out, making way for permanent teeth. At this stage, parents should pay attention to their children\’s oral hygiene issues and help their children brush their teeth correctly. Good oral hygiene habits can prevent problems such as tooth decay and have a positive impact on your child\’s future physical health.
