Babies who are three or four months old start to like biting things. At first, they like to bite their own fingers. As they get older and can turn over and climb, they will grab onto whatever they want to bite. Therefore, parents usually prepare things for their babies to grind their teeth. What is the name for grinding teeth for babies?
1. The thing that grinds teeth for babies is called a grinding rod. There are many types of grinding rods in mother and baby stores, and their prices vary. Different types of grinding rods have different functions. Common grinding rods in mother and baby stores are made of silicone, and some grinding rods are actually baby snacks. The main function of a silicone grinding rod is to exercise children's chewing function, while a small snack like grinding rod can not only exercise chewing function, but also supplement nutrition to children's bodies. In fact, it is one of the complementary foods for children.
2. Do not use a grinding rod for children too early. Generally, children can start using it after 4 months of age. If you use a grinding rod like a snack or cookie for your child, parents must watch closely because some babies may get stuck in their throat while eating it, and in severe cases, it may cause breathing difficulties and suffocation.
3. It is very necessary to use a grinding rod for children. On the one hand, it can exercise their chewing function, and on the other hand, it can stimulate their gums, which can promote better gum development and alleviate discomfort during tooth growth.
