What does it mean when babies start to grow teeth?

China is now developing towards internationalization, but there are still many areas where the elderly still have feudal and superstitious ideas. For new mothers, since they have never taken care of a child and lack experience, the elderly in the family will more or less infect them with some feudal and superstitious ideas. The elderly have their own opinions on whether a baby's teeth grow early or late. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this, so mothers don't need to worry about it. So what does it mean when babies start teething?

The time of teething for babies varies. The earliest deciduous teeth begin to erupt at 4 months, but most babies start to grow teeth after 6 months.

Teeth usually grow in pairs. The lower incisors (front teeth) appear first, followed by the upper incisors, then the lateral incisors, then the premolars and canines, and finally the molars. Generally, all 20 deciduous teeth will appear by the age of 3.

The appearance of a baby's first tooth may occur at different times, but it is generally normal for it to appear between 4 and 12 months. If the baby has not grown teeth by the age of one, there is no need to worry as long as other development is normal. Only in very rare cases may late tooth eruption be due to metabolic disorders, but usually this will not only be reflected in the teeth, but also in other aspects.

The order of tooth growth is related to genetics, calcium content in the body, whether the deciduous teeth are missing, etc. Observe whether the baby has other abnormal behaviors, such as crying at night, sweating, baldness on the back of the head, growth and development, etc. If these phenomena occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check blood calcium.

There are many reasons why babies don't have teeth. On the one hand, it may be calcium deficiency. On the other hand, there are individual differences among babies. Some teeth come out early while others come out late. It may also be that the teeth haven't come out because they don't chew enough. You can give your baby some calcium and cod liver oil, and buy him some teething sticks.

What is the saying about babies' teething? After reading the introduction above, everyone has learned a lot! Mothers should raise their children scientifically and believe in science. Don't be foolish to believe in the feudal superstitions of some elderly people. There is no scientific basis for that at all, and sometimes it will mislead mothers to do things that are not good for their children's health.
