Delayed tooth growth.

With the birth of a child, parents have a lot of concerns about his health, and one of the important problems that cause concern for parents is the process of the appearance of teeth in a child.

In the usual mode, the timing of the eruption of deciduous teeth is correlated with statistical data on this process.

In this regard, there is a certain tendency in the timing of teething, which parents are guided by.

The first milk teeth are the central incisors, they begin to erupt in pairs on the lower (6-7 months from birth), and then on the upper jaw (8-9 months from birth). The appearance of the first teeth is accompanied by characteristic signs: redness and swelling of the gums, itching in the area of the ridge of the alveolar ridge of the jaw, pain symptoms, possible poor general health, fever. By these signs of teething, parents understand what happens to the well-being of the child, who becomes whiny, loses appetite and sleep.

The lateral upper incisors appear in 9-10 months, the lateral lower incisors are cut in 10-11 months. In a year and a half, the first chewing teeth of the molars appear, first on the upper jaw, then on the lower jaw. At the 16-20th month, the canines are cut on the upper jaw, at the 20-22th month, the canines are cut on the lower jaw. Teething ends with another pair of molars on the upper and then on the lower jaw in a period of two and a half years.

When is teething delayed? The timing of the eruption of milk teeth is very conditional. In some children, teeth may erupt earlier, in others slightly later. It is not worth panicking about the violation of the deadlines, since adentia is a rare anomaly. But if you are especially worried about the lack of a systematic teething process in a child, you will get the answer to this question from a pediatric dentist, who can conduct an X-ray examination of your child's jaws and determine if there are tooth rudiments, and for what reason their growth, development and teething are delayed.

When all the signs of teething are present, but the teeth are not visible, this may indicate that the baby's gum ridge is too dense, and it is necessary to help the tooth overcome this density. In such cases, gum incisions are made along the ridge of the alveolar ridge, which helps the tooth to find an exit to the surface.

There are special methods of stimulating teething, which are aimed at massaging the alveolar processes of the child. The same effect is possessed by the transfer of the baby to hard types of food, which would force him to chew food, which also stimulates the alveolar processes, provoking their correct development and the formation of the dentition.
