A baby is growing day by day, and their body is also developing day by day. For example, for babies who are approaching the stage of tooth growth, parents can see that their baby's teeth will begin to change compared to the past. From being a 'toothless child' to having a child slowly, but this requires a process. How long does it take for a baby's teeth to sprout?
How long does it take for a baby's teeth to sprout
It takes about a month or a month and a half for a baby's first tooth to fully grow from the small white tip. Adding some calcium to the baby during teething is beneficial for the eruption of teeth. It is also recommended to let the baby eat some grinding cookies to make them feel more comfortable. The eruption of teeth has a certain time and sequence, with symmetrical eruption on both sides, with the lower teeth of the same name erupting first and the upper teeth erupting slightly later. There are significant individual differences in the timing of tooth eruption, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Generally speaking, girls have earlier teeth calcification and eruption time than boys; Children with good nutrition, tall stature, and heavy weight tend to sprout earlier; Children in warm regions start teething earlier than those in cold regions.
What is the order in which baby teeth first emerge
1. Within 1 year old
At 6 months after birth (which can start as early as 4 months and end as late as 10 months), the baby will have their first tooth, and approximately 1 new tooth will appear every month thereafter. The number of teeth that appear can be summarized as a formula: age-4 (or 6).
The eruption of baby teeth is very orderly, in the following order: the two central incisors below - the two central incisors above - the side incisors adjacent to the incisors above - the side incisors below.
2. After the age of one
The baby teeth continue to sprout in the following order: the two first molars below - the two first molars above - the fangs between the lower incisors and the first molars - the fangs above - the two second molars below - the two second molars above.
3. About 2 and a half to 3 years old
The baby teeth come out completely, with 10 on each side, symmetrical on both sides, for a total of 20 teeth.
The baby's teeth may seem to sprout for a long time, but in fact, they undergo small changes every day. When their teeth truly sprout, parents will also feel that their baby's teeth are growing very quickly. Before or during the eruption of a baby's teeth, there may be itching gums that require frequent biting. At this time, it is best to provide a pacifier for the baby.
