Teething is a natural developmental process where an infant’s primary teeth, also known as baby teeth or milk teeth, start to break through the gums. This usually begins around 6 months of age, though it can vary from child to child. For parents, teething is an important milestone but can also be a challenging phase due to the discomfort it causes in children.
1. Early Signs (0–6 months): Before teeth appear, infants may show subtle signs such as chewing on objects and increased saliva.
2. First Teeth (6–10 months): The bottom front teeth (central incisors) are usually the first to erupt.
3. Multiple Eruptions (10–18 months): More teeth, including the top front teeth and molars, begin to push through.
4. Completion (24–36 months): By age 3, most children have a full set of 20 primary teeth.
-Drooling: Increased saliva production can lead to skin irritation around the mouth.
-0Irritability: Sore gums may cause fussiness or crying.
-Gum Swelling: Gums may appear red or tender before teeth break through.
-Chewing Behavior: Babies often chew on toys or fingers to ease discomfort.
-Sleep Disturbance: Discomfort can affect sleeping patterns.
Parents can provide comfort to teething children through simple and safe remedies:
-Offer teething toys or a clean, cool washcloth to chew on.
-Massage the gums gently with a clean finger.
-Keep the baby’s face dry to avoid rashes from drool.
-Provide chilled (not frozen) teething rings for relief.
-Consult a pediatrician before giving any pain-relief medication.
Dental care should start as soon as the first tooth appears. Parents should clean teeth with a soft cloth or baby toothbrush and avoid putting a child to bed with a bottle, as this can lead to tooth decay. Early dental habits set the foundation for lifelong oral health.
