1. Basic knowledge about baby teething
Baby teething is a problem that every family will encounter. For new parents, it is very necessary to understand the basic knowledge of baby teething. Normally, a baby\’s teeth will begin to erupt around 6 months after birth, but some babies may have teeth earlier or later. Also note that different types of teeth appear in different orders.
2. The first tooth
Normally, the first teeth to appear are the mandibular incisors. This tooth usually appears between 6-10 months of age. If your baby has a little pain in his mouth during this period and drools a lot, it is likely that this tooth is about to grow.
3. Maxillary incisors
The next thing that appears are the maxillary incisors. This tooth usually appears between 8-12 months of age. If your baby starts biting things or licking his lips with his tongue, this tooth is probably coming in.
4. Maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral incisors
The maxillary and mandibular lateral incisors usually appear between 8 and 16 months of age. These two teeth are important tools for your baby to chew food, so when these two teeth begin to grow, your baby\’s appetite will also increase.
5. The first molar
The first molars usually appear between 12 and 18 months of age. This tooth is used to grind food, so when this tooth comes in, you will expect your baby to start to like harder foods.
6. Remaining deciduous teeth
In addition to the several types of teeth mentioned above, there are some other types of deciduous teeth that need to grow. These baby teeth usually come in between 18-24 months of age. When all the baby teeth are in, you will have a complete baby mouth.
Over time, baby teeth gradually fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth. This is a natural process and nothing to worry about. If you have any questions about your baby\’s teething, please consult your doctor or other professionals in time.
