    Lesson V - Baby Teeth

    Uploaded by

    Donatella Grosso
    Baby teeth, also known as primary teeth, typically begin emerging in babies between 6-12 months of age. The first teeth to emerge are usually located at the top and bottom front of the mouth. Baby teeth are important for proper development, as they hold space for permanent teeth growing underneath. Parents should start cleaning their baby's gums after birth and brush teeth twice daily once they emerge. The first dental visit should occur by age 1. Maintaining good oral hygiene helps protect teeth for decades.

    BABY TEETH

    If you think your baby’s toothless smile is cute, just wait until their first few teeth
    make an appearance.

    When Do Baby Teeth Come In?

    A baby’s 20 primary teeth are already present in the jaws at birth and typically begin
    to appear when a baby is between 6 months and 1 year.

    Most children have a full set of 20 primary teeth by the time they are 3. Check out
    this baby teeth eruption chart to see the order in which teeth breakthrough and at
    what ages you can expect specific teeth to appear. Every child is different, but
    usually, the first teeth to come in are located in the top and bottom front of their
    mouth.

    When teeth first come in, some babies may have sore or tender gums. Gently
    rubbing your child's gums with a clean finger, a small, cool spoon or a wet gauze pad
    can be soothing. You can also give the baby a clean teething ring to chew on. If your
    child is still cranky and in pain, consult your dentist.

    Why Baby Teeth Matter

    Baby teeth are very important to your child’s health and development. They help him
    or her chew, speak and smile. They also hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth
    that are growing under the gums. When a baby tooth is lost too early, the permanent
    teeth can drift into the empty space and make it difficult for other adult teeth to find
    room when they come in. This can make teeth crooked or crowded. That’s why
    starting infants off with good oral care can help protect their teeth for decades to
    come.

    When Should I Start Taking My Child to the Dentist?

    After the first tooth comes in and no later than the first birthday. A dental visit at an
    early age is a "well-baby checkup" for the teeth. Besides checking for cavities and
    other problems, the dentist can show you how to clean the child's teeth properly and
    how to handle habits like thumb sucking. Learn more about how to prepare for this
    visit.

    How to Care for Your Child's Teeth

    It’s important to care for your baby’s teeth from the start. Here's what to do:

    ● Begin cleaning your baby’s mouth during the first few days after birth by
    wiping the gums with a clean, wet gauze pad or washcloth. As soon as teeth
    appear, decay can occur. A baby’s front four teeth usually push through the
    gums at about 6 months of age, although some children don’t have their first
    tooth until 12 or 14 months.
    ● Children younger than 3 years, start brushing their teeth as soon as they
    begin to come into the mouth by using fluoride toothpaste in an amount no
    more than a smear or the size of a grain of rice. Brush teeth thoroughly twice
    per day (morning and night) or as directed by a dentist. Supervise children’s
    brushing to ensure that they use the appropriate amount of toothpaste.
    ● For children 3 to 6 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride
    toothpaste. Brush teeth thoroughly twice per day (morning and night) or as
    directed by a dentist. Supervise children’s brushing and remind them not to
    swallow the toothpaste.
    ● Until you’re comfortable that your child can brush on his or her own, continue
    to brush your child's teeth twice a day with a child-size toothbrush and a
    pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. When your child has two teeth that
    touch, you should begin cleaning between their teeth daily.
