teeth development and care
TRANSCRIPT
Teeth - development and care• Tooth development• Most babies start teething at
around six months. However, all babies are different and the timing of teething varies. Some babies are born with their first teeth. Others start teething before they are four months old, and some after 12 months. Early teething should not cause a child any problems, unless it affects their feeding.
Teeth - development and care• bottom front teeth (incisors) - these are the first to come through, at around five
to seven months• top front teeth (incisors) - these come through at around six to eight months• top lateral incisors (either side of the top front teeth) - these come through at
around nine to eleven months• bottom lateral incisors (either side of the bottom front teeth) - these come
through at around 10-12 months• molars (back teeth) - these come through at around 12-16 months• canines (towards the back of the mouth) - these come through at around 16-20
months• second molars - these come through at around 20-30 months.
Teething• Some teeth grow with no pain or
discomfort at all. At other times you may notice that the gum is sore and red where the tooth is coming through, or that one cheek is flushed. Your baby may dribble, gnaw and chew a lot, or just be fretful. Some people attribute a wide range of symptoms to teething, such as diarrhoea and fever. However, there is no research to prove that these other symptoms are linked. You know your baby best. If their behaviour seems unusual, or their symptoms are severe or causing you concern, then seek medical advice.
