Why do children have late teething?

Everyone knows that children grow teeth, especially babies who have just grown teeth. After the new teeth grow out, parents must pay attention to the time when the children grow teeth, and the teeth that grow. If the teeth do not grow well when the new teeth grow, it will affect oral health. Some children grow teeth very late, and parents will be particularly worried. What is the reason for children to grow teeth late? What should we pay attention to!

Generally speaking, deciduous teeth erupt in the following order: mandibular central incisor, maxillary central incisor, maxillary lateral incisor, mandibular lateral incisor, mandibular first deciduous molar, maxillary first deciduous molar, mandibular deciduous canine, maxillary deciduous canine, mandibular second deciduous molar, maxillary second deciduous molar. For some children, the order of eruption of some teeth may be reversed, but it does not affect the arrangement of the teeth and does not require any treatment.

When the baby is about to start growing teeth, parents must pay attention to the child's gums to see if there is any swelling or protrusion. If there is a gingival cyst or gingivitis during the eruption period of the tooth, most of the time no intervention is required and no treatment is needed unless an infection occurs.

Breast milk or formula milk contains lactose and carbohydrates, which are the energy source for bacteria to survive, so after each feeding, wipe the teeth and gums with gauze dipped in warm water. You can also let your baby drink a sip of water after feeding to cleanse him.

The mother sits on a chair, holds the baby on her lap, lets the baby's head tilt back slightly, and then uses clean gauze dipped in clean water to gently wipe the baby's gums, teeth, tongue and oral mucosa.

You should clean your baby's mouth or let him rinse his mouth after each feeding. Cleaning must be done very carefully in the morning and evening, especially before going to bed at night.

If your child's teeth grow late, the mother does not need to be too anxious, because the time for each child to grow teeth is not fixed. It is recommended that if the child still has no teeth, you can take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination. After the examination, the disease can be confirmed to avoid delaying the treatment of the child's disease.
