What is the chronological order in which baby teeth grow?

Babies do not grow teeth within four months after birth. During this month, babies need to rely entirely on breast milk and only drink watery foods such as milk powder. Because babies have no teeth, they cannot chew things at first, and their gastrointestinal digestion function is not yet perfect. After six or seven months, the baby's teeth will begin to grow slowly, starting from one side and the upper and lower teeth, and finally a little bit of teeth will grow. At this time, the baby can eat puffed foods such as biscuits, and chew slowly with small teeth. Parents should also pay attention to this. The baby may become irritable, like to bite things, and often drool. Parents can prepare special teething gum for their children, or prepare some puffed biscuits. These can achieve the effect of grinding the baby's teeth in the process of chewing, and prevent the baby from biting unhygienic things.

1. The time and order of eruption of deciduous teeth

1. Central incisor: 6 months for mandibular; 7.5 months for maxillary

2. Lateral incisors: mandibular 7 months; maxillary 9 months

3. First deciduous molars: mandibular 12 months; maxillary 14 months

4. Canines: 16 months for lower jaw and 18 months for upper jaw

5. Second deciduous molars: mandibular 20 months; maxillary 2 years

For some children, the order of eruption of some teeth may be reversed, but it does not ultimately affect the arrangement of the teeth and does not require any treatment.

2. The timing and order of permanent tooth eruption

Characteristics of baby teeth eruption

1. There is a certain order for tooth eruption, and the order of eruption is basically consistent with the order of tooth germ development.

2. Teeth erupt at a certain time, but the physiological range is wide and varies greatly from person to person. It is normal for the baby to be born 6-12 months late.

3. The same teeth on the left and right sides emerge from the gums at approximately the same time.

4. The mandibular teeth erupt slightly earlier than the maxillary teeth of the same name.

Symptoms of teething in babies

Babies will have some abnormal behaviors during teething, and different babies will have different behaviors. Generally speaking, there are nine aspects:

1. Pain: Your baby may show signs of pain and discomfort.

2. Bad temper: The discomfort caused by teething can make the baby bad tempered and cry a lot, which is especially obvious one or two days before teething.

3. Red cheeks: You may notice red spots on your baby’s cheeks.

4. Drooling: The excessive saliva produced during teething will cause the baby to drool frequently.

5. Chewing, biting or chewing things: If you put anything near the baby's mouth, he may do the above actions.

6. Swollen gums: Check his mouth to see if there is any redness or swelling on the gums.

7. Restless sleep: Your baby may wake up in the middle of the night and seem irritable, even though he had been sleeping soundly before.

8. Increased body temperature: Teething can cause the body temperature to rise slightly, so your baby may feel a little hotter than usual.

9. Butt pain: Although we don't know the reason yet, some parents have noticed that babies are more likely to suffer from diaper rash and may have loose stools when they are teething.
