Teething can be very frustrating for both parents and children as sometimes it is a painful process for the baby. Teething may start in the third or fourth month of a baby's life. The first teeth start growing in the middle of the bottom gum, these appear in pairs and are called central incisors. Four or eight weeks later the baby will start getting their four top front teeth and around thirty days later they will get two teeth that will flank each of their bottom teeth. Then comes the first premolar and molars or jaw teeth these are used for grinding and crushing food, the last to come in are the canines, beside the incisors, these are pointy teeth that tear and grip food. Most children will have all of their milk teeth, twenty in all, by the time they are three years old. Sometimes children are born with a few teeth or get their first teeth earlier than three months.
Two months later the child will grow two teeth that appear on either side of their bottom teeth. Next the premolars and molars show up. Premolars and molars are used to crush and grind food, finally the incisors and canines pop out. Canines are for gripping and tearing food, collectively these teeth are called milk teeth, your child will have twenty of these by the time he or she is three years old. Occasionally an infant is born with teeth or get their first set before three months.
Finally the canines come in beside the incisors these are used for cutting and tearing the food your infant eats and they are sharp and pointy. By the time your child is three years old he or she should have a full set of twenty milk teeth. On occasion infants have been known to be born with their teeth and sometimes they get the first set before they are three months old.
Care for your infant's teeth by wiping the gums and teeth with water or use a soft bristled brush to clean the baby's teeth with water. You should never use toothpaste until the child can spit out, this usually happens at about three years of age. Once your child has the maximum amount of teeth try to brush them at least twice a day.
To ensure proper care of your infant's teeth wipe the child's gum with water, if you are looking for the ideal brush for the child's teeth then try a soft bristled brush. Toothpaste is not recommended until your child can spit out, most children can't do this until they are about three years old. Once your baby is capable of spitting brush the child's teeth twice a day. Although milk teeth are not permanent they should be taken care of because if they rot, the other milk teeth will try to take their place and this will cause them to become crooked. Your infant should have their first dental visit at one year of age.
