Growing teeth is a leap stage on the baby's growth path, which means that the baby has reached another new stage of growth. After growing teeth, they can eat more food, and the baby's nutrition is more abundant and balanced. Generally, there is a certain order of tooth growth, but there are always babies who do not follow the rules. So, is it normal for babies to grow upper teeth first?
Usually, long teeth start with the central incisors of the lower jaw, followed by the central incisors of the upper jaw, then the lateral incisors of the lower jaw, and finally the lateral incisors of the upper jaw. The central incisors are actually the front teeth, while the lateral incisors are the teeth next to the front teeth, which is the normal order for most babies to have teeth. But there are also babies who grow teeth out of the usual order. In fact, as long as the quality of the teeth is good, it is normal for them to grow out of order.
In fact, there is a certain relationship between tooth growth and genetic factors, as well as nutrition. There are individual differences in babies, which are objective factors. Therefore, if a baby develops lateral incisors first, it can be observed first. If there are no other abnormalities, treatment is not needed. When the baby is teething, it is important to give them more vitamin rich foods. If necessary, they can also be supplemented with some calcium supplements.
But if the baby's lateral incisors have already grown a lot, but there is no sign of the central incisors growing, and the posterior central incisors show abnormalities, it is best to take the baby to the dental department for an X-ray to see if the central incisors are missing or have developmental abnormalities, so as not to affect oral health.
