Babies are born without teeth and do not start to grow teeth until they reach a certain age. The stage of teething is very important for babies, but it can also be uncomfortable in the mouth. Therefore, parents should pay attention to taking care of their babies to prevent them from not paying attention to hygiene and affecting their physical health. So, how long does it take for babies to have their teeth fixed?
Firstly, full-term babies usually start to have their teeth set at 4-6 months old, and typically have 1-2 teeth per month. If a baby lacks calcium, there may be delayed teething. Teeth will appear at 7-8 months, 8-9 months, and some babies may not even have teeth by the age of one. It is recommended to supplement calcium appropriately.
Secondly, babies usually start teething at six or seven months old, but individual differences cannot be ignored. At the same time, during this period, the baby's salivary glands are not fully developed and the amount of saliva secreted is very small. In the following period, the baby's saliva will be more vigorous, and the phenomenon of drooling will be particularly obvious. Parents should help the baby deal with drooling during this period to prevent it from wetting the chin for a long time and causing skin problems.
Finally, as the baby's teething stage passes, the occurrence of drooling will gradually decrease, and parents do not need to worry too much. However, parents should do a good job in oral hygiene and cleanliness to help the baby safely pass through the teething period and ensure the baby's health at this stage.
