What are the symptoms of teething in children?

Children cannot eat when their baby teeth just grow out, and they cannot be given hard food during this period. They should be given sparse food on a regular basis. Children may cry constantly during this period and may drool frequently. They also like to bite their fingers or hard objects, and their sleep quality will deteriorate. So what are the clinical characteristics of children when they are teething?

Generally, babies will start to grow deciduous teeth at six to seven months old. However, some babies will start to grow teeth at four months old because they have sufficient calcium, while others will start to grow teeth at nine months. But as long as the first tooth erupts before one year old, it is normal.

Generally, the first deciduous teeth to erupt are the mandibular incisors, followed by the maxillary incisors. However, for some babies, the order of individual teeth eruption is reversed, and sometimes even four or five teeth erupt at once. However, these will not affect the arrangement of the teeth, so parents do not need to worry too much.

The order in which teeth erupt is just a general rule. It is not uncommon for babies to have their teeth grow in the reverse order. As long as the quality of the teeth is good, it does not matter. When the baby is teething, parents should pay attention to the cleanliness of the baby's mouth.

You can use the method of distraction. Parents can choose toys that the baby likes for the child to play with, or books for the baby to read, or they can play some music that the child likes for the child to listen to. In this way, the child's attention will be distracted and he will not feel so much pain.

You can buy a teething stick or teething biscuits for your child to chew on. This can relieve the pain. But you must pay attention that the things you give your baby to chew must be non-toxic, harmless, hygienic and healthy, otherwise something serious will happen if the baby accidentally swallows it.

Note: Children are bound to experience teething, and parents must help their children relieve the pain better, which is good for the baby. If you don’t help the baby, the baby will definitely lose his temper due to the unbearable pain, which is not good.

The editor reminds parents and friends that if you find that your child has toothache when teeth are growing, you can buy a gum massager for your child, which can help massage the gums and relieve pain. You also need to pay more attention to your son's oral hygiene when his teeth are growing. Brush your child's teeth frequently, but it is best not to use toothpaste.
