After a newborn is born, teeth do not grow out so quickly. When teeth start to grow, parents should pay attention to monitoring. This is a crucial time. As long as the newborn's teeth are protected, a row of neat and beautiful teeth can grow. However, the time for each newborn to grow teeth is different. So, how many months is it normal for a newborn to grow teeth?
Newborns at 6 months old have normal tooth growth, but there are individual differences in the duration of tooth growth. Each baby develops differently, and with different nutrient intake, the duration of tooth growth also varies. Some babies may start to sprout teeth at 4 months old, while others may need to wait until 8 or even 10 months. Therefore, as long as the baby has no other abnormalities, parents can pay attention to strengthening the baby's nutrition and there is no need to worry too much.
When newborns first start to grow teeth, their teeth are relatively thin and fragile. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the newborn's oral cavity, timely clean up food residues, and avoid dental caries. In addition, it is recommended to eat foods with high calcium content in the diet to promote the firm growth of teeth.
When newborns first start to grow teeth, they may experience irritability and crying, and the gums are usually accompanied by swelling, pain, and discomfort. To alleviate the discomfort of newborns, parents can use gauze dipped in water to wipe the swollen gums, which can relieve discomfort. At the same time, they can also dip it in salt water, which has anti-inflammatory effects.
