Tips to keep your child's teeth healthy
Whether you're a new or experienced mom, teething can be a frightening experience and crying, whining, drooling, and general crankiness are often a normal part of the process when a baby's teeth are about to penetrate gum tissue, so mum should learn about the signs and symptoms of teething and top tips on how to Soothe baby's pain and keep new teeth healthy.
When does teething begin
Teething usually begins around 6 months of age, although it can begin at any time in a baby's first year. It is most common for the lower front teeth called lower central incisors to appear first, followed by the upper front teeth called maxillary central incisors.
When babies start teething, they are usually in the mouth-developing stage of development, which means they like to put whatever they can find in their mouths. Many children bite off their fingers or toys to relieve gum pain around the coming teeth. Some children refuse to eat or drink because their mouths hurt.
Teething symptoms in children
Drooling may begin several weeks before the tooth actually begins to show through the gums. If drooling is excessive, it may cause a rash on your child's chin, cheeks, or upper chest. Drying the child's chin with a clean cloth, applying petroleum jelly around the mouth, and making sure the child sleeps on absorbent paper may help in solving these problems. Teething symptoms vary greatly from one child to another. Some children show some of the above symptoms while others keep their parents busy day and night. On the other end of the spectrum are fortunate babies, not to mention their parents, who navigate the teething process without ever showing any symptoms. Babies who show symptoms of teething usually get infected a few days before the teeth come out of the gums. Symptoms usually resolve after the tooth is fractured.
How do I help my teething child?
Mild teething symptoms that improve within a short period of time are not a cause for concern, but there are some tricks to make them more tolerable for babies and their parents. Here are some recommendations:
Massage the pain. Use a clean finger, a wet gauze pad, or a damp cloth to rub your baby's gums. This may help relieve pain in your child's gums. It is also a good way to start the habit of placing a wet washcloth on the child's teeth for dental hygiene. Try a teething ring. I generally recommend using rubber instead of liquid-filled teething rings, as the latter may break. Some parents use frozen teething rings, but I don't recommend this because being too cold can cause more pain. You can try placing the ring in the refrigerator instead. Bring a bottle. If the bottle helps your child, be sure to fill it with water. Long-term chewing or sucking on a bottle full of milk, milk, or juice may expose your child to too much sugar, leading to tooth decay. Try to cool off. Placing a cold washcloth on inflamed gums may help. If your child eats solid foods, try offering cold foods such as yogurt or applesauce. Stop at the store. There are many over-the-counter remedies that may aid the teething process, for example, Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets offer a homeopathic remedy for teething pain that melts on baby's tongue. For babies who have such discomfort from teething that they cry constantly, use over-the-counter pain relievers that contain acetaminophen such as Tylenol for infants.
When should you see a doctor during teething?
If teething symptoms do not go away after a few days of trying tips and medications, or if symptoms worsen, parents should take their child to see the child's doctor. It's possible that the pain is caused by something more serious, such as an infection or another medical condition.
One of the most common ways about teething is that it causes fever and diarrhea, but medical research does not support this belief. Children with these symptoms are likely to have an infection of some sort and should be seen by a doctor.
Some children may have more pain because their teeth come in later than average, or the teeth pierce the gums in an unusual pattern. In many cases, these delays or differences are due to problems such as another tooth in the way of a blistering tooth, a small jaw, or a failure of the tooth to penetrate the gum (impact). These problems warrant a visit to the doctor.
