What are the terms of dentition?

With what impatience we wait, when it is cut throughthe first tooth of our baby! Terms for teething are determined not only by heredity. Important factors are climate, food quality, temperature regime. For example, the hotter the climate, the earlier the time of eruption comes teeth in the child.

A person for all his life changes oncetwenty teeth (they are called dairy) and eight (or twelve) are cut and remain for life, without changing (radical). The timing of eruption of permanent teeth (molars) varies greatly. They start to erupt usually at the sixth year of life, and they can even finish cutting themselves even in forty years. Approximately from six to fifteen years at the person a bite replaceable (presence simultaneously both dairy, and a constant teeth). This period usually lasts until thirteen years. Then a permanent bite (28-32 teeth) is formed, on each side from 14 to 16 teeth. Permanent teeth are cut in this order: molars first, incisors central, incisors lateral, premolars first, canines, premolars second, second molars and wisdom teeth. Teeth erupt first on the lower jaw, and then on the upper jaw. The exception is the first premolars.

Specify the exact timing of eruption of milk teeth is impossible, because for each child they are individual. And they can vary considerably. But still the general scheme, tentative, exists.

The newborn has no teeth at all. Although there are rare cases when the teeth grow during intrauterine development, but this is a deviation from the norm.

Первыми появляются на нижней челюсти центральные incisors, and soon on the upper. This happens when the child is about six months old. By eight months, lateral incisors appear (first on the lower jaw, and then on the upper jaw). By the sixteenth month, the first molars erupt, followed by the fangs. Approximately to the twentieth month of life, the second molars appear. On them, and ends the formation of a bite.

Earlier terms of teething explainedrickets. Just like the asymmetric arrangement. However, in fact, this is not an indicator of a violation in the development of your child. Long observations have shown that such "violations" are peculiar to some children developing in the rest is absolutely normal. However, parents have the right to be alert when:

  • the timing of teething is prolonged for more than two months (according to the norm);
  • teeth erupt more than two months earlier than the norm;
  • missing one of the teeth;
  • incorrectly formed the tooth itself;
  • the tooth grows before birth.

Delayed dentition in dentistscalled retention. Usually it happens with canines, sometimes touches molars and incisors. If the delay comes with a deviation of a month or two, then you should not worry. A longer delay may indicate some kind of pathology. Usually this is the result of diseases that the mother suffered during pregnancy, or the diseases of the child itself. However, timely eruption can be prevented by extra supercomplete teeth (this also occurs, although very rarely). Earlier eruptions testify to abnormalities in the endocrine system. When the timing of teething significantly deviated from the norm, be sure to consult a dentist and a pediatrician.

In conclusion, a few words on how to facilitateThe discomfort that a child experiences at a time when his teeth are cut. At this time, the kid does not just cry, he can scream very loudly, he can get a fever and stay for more than a day. Give the child something to eat. This will help ease the pressure and partially relieve the pain. You can use a special dental gel for toddlers (it is sold in pharmacies without a prescription). Very good helps the teetotaler (rubber toy with water inside), which is cooled and given to the child to ease the condition (the cold well relieves pain). If the baby has fever, consult a pediatrician who will tell you the appropriate antipyretic agent, according to your child's age.
