The first set of teeth or baby teeth as they are called, are twenty in number, which usually appear in pairs, and the lower jaw generally precede those above. The first tooth is usually cut on the sixth or seventh month, and the last of the series in different periods of twenty to thirty months. Therefore, all the busy time of the first teeth to be estimated in May from a year and a half to two years. The process varies, however, different people, both full length and in the timing and the order in which the teeth make their appearance. It is not necessary, however, to add others to this point.

Its development is a natural process. It is all too often, however, a painful and difficult, and errors in managing the scheme and the health of the child, before the arrival of the teeth, and in the process.

Therefore, due mainly to the management, it is becoming increasingly critical of childhood. I do not think the magnitude of mortality is sufficient that, by any means is so great as has been said, because it ranks as high as one sixth of all children who suffer.

Management of teeth in infants, with no difficulty. ————————————————– ———-

In healthy children of a constitution that has been, is, of course, fed by his mother alone, the symptoms attending teething will be the most gentle of nature, and management of infants simple and easy.

Symptoms – The symptoms of natural dentition (which is called in May) is an increased flow of saliva, swelling and heat of the gums, and occasionally flushing of the cheeks. The child often their fingers, or anything within your reach in your mouth. It increases your thirst, and take the trunk more often, however, offer the state of the gums, for shorter periods than usual. Is restless and agitated, and sudden attacks of crying and sometimes from sleep, with a slight tendency to vomiting, and even the entrails of the game, are not uncommon. Many of these symptoms often precede the appearance of the teeth for several weeks, indicating that the so-called “breeding the teeth” is underway. In such cases, symptoms disappear within a few days, to recur again when the tooth approaches the surface of the gum.

Treatment: – Management of the child, in this case is very simple, and rarely calls for intervention by the doctor. The child should be mostly outdoors, the entrails and the exercise should be freely open with castor oil, and to be always slightly relaxed at this time. Cold sponge employees per day, and the surface of the body rubbed dry with a rough flannel as the delicate skin of children are doing; friction is useful. The chest should be given often, but not for long at a time, thirst be allayed, the gums kept moist and relaxed, and their irritation soothed, without the stomach being overloaded. The mother must also carefully attend this time for his own health and diet, and avoid all stimulant food or drinks.

From the moment dentition begins, pressure on the gums have been agreed with the child, by numbing and dulling of sensitivity to pain. For this purpose coral is usually employed, or a piece of Orris-root, or scraped liquorice root, a flat ivory ring, however, is much better and safer because there is no risk that the pressure eyes or nose. Gentle rubbing of the gums, also, by the finger of the nurse, it is good for the child, and he seems to have some effect to mitigate the irritation, can be used frequently a. In France, it is largely the practice of dumping of liquorice roots, and other substances, honey, sugar or candy, Germany, a small bag containing a mixture of sugar and of spices gives the child to suck, always worried, and it is difficult in the teeth. The constant use, however, the ingredients fresh and exciting to do damage to the stomach, and does its job very wrong.
