Signs that your baby is teething-
-irritability
-chewing their fingers
-chewing toys
-clingy
-fretful
-difficulty sleeping
-production of more saliva causing them to
dribble
-crying
-swollen areas in the mouth where the
teeth may be about to break through
-putting their fingers into their mouth
usually, the first teeth to appear are the
two lower central incisors - or ‘cutting
teeth’. These are followed by the two
upper central incisors. By his first
birthday, your baby may have six teeth
since, once they begin to grow, they
usually develop at a rate of around one a
month
although this is just a guideline, your
babys teeth will usually appear in this
order:
6-7 months - four central incisors
(cutting teeth)
8 months - four side incisors
10 - 14 months - four back molars (chewing
teeth)
16-20 months - four canines (pointed
teeth)
24-30 months - four more back molars
it is always important to remember that
not all children teeth at the same rate.
Some children still have no teeth after a
year and others begin to teeth
immediately. The rate at which a child's
teeth grow is determined by their d n a,
and does not influence how healthy the
teeth, or the child, may be.
Helping your child to teeth
fruit and vegetables
to help soothe the discomfort of teething
you will find your baby will want to chew
toys , clothing etc. Slices of cucumber ,
carrot or a piece of fruit will help
soothe you baby
teething toys
there are a number of teethers available
in all styles , shapes and colours. Many
of the teethers available give both
stimulation to the child and provide aid
to the sore gum . You will find fun
shaped teether , massaging teether , cool
ring teether some teethers also being
tuneful.
