Tooth order representation method

When children's teeth grow, they generally grow in a certain order. During the process of teeth growth, children may also experience symptoms such as itchy teeth, drooling, decreased appetite, crying and restlessness, and slight fever. If these symptoms occur, parents need to give their children careful care and take appropriate measures to relieve their discomfort. Next, I will introduce to you some relevant knowledge about children’s teething!

1. Average age of eruption of deciduous teeth

There is a certain time for the eruption of deciduous teeth. Normally, the first deciduous tooth begins to erupt in babies around 6-8 months old, but there are individual differences among babies. Clinically, teething in babies around 1 year old is still considered to be within the normal physiological range.

Moreover, deciduous teeth erupt in pairs. The average age and order of deciduous teeth eruption (usually lower teeth erupt earlier) is:

Lower central incisor 4-17 months, upper incisor 5-15 months, lower lateral teeth 6-27 months, upper lateral teeth 6-21 months, lower canines 8-27 months, upper canines 8-29 months, lower first deciduous molars 8-27 months, upper first deciduous molars 8-28 months, lower second deciduous molars 8-34 months, upper second deciduous molars 8-34 months.

2. Eruption order of deciduous teeth

1. There is a certain order for the eruption of deciduous teeth: mandibular central incisor → maxillary central incisor → maxillary lateral incisor → mandibular lateral incisor → mandibular first deciduous molar → maxillary first deciduous molar → mandibular deciduous canine → maxillary deciduous canine → mandibular second deciduous molar → maxillary second deciduous molar.

2. There are also individual differences in the order of tooth eruption. For example, the wrong order of tooth eruption is a normal variation phenomenon and is very common. The eruption of the deciduous canine is after the eruption of the first deciduous molar, which is also normal and cannot be regarded as abnormal. Therefore, parents do not need to worry about such a situation.

3. Since the order of eruption is closely related to tooth arrangement, it is more significant than the eruption time. If the order of eruption is disordered, it may lead to uneven tooth arrangement or malocclusion.

4. Many parents find that their baby’s teeth do not erupt in pairs, so they worry that only one tooth is coming out due to calcium deficiency? In fact, this is a completely normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. The teeth erupt in a certain order and the gums have a preparation period. Perhaps parents only see one tooth in their baby now, but there are three teeth preparing to erupt at the same time.

3. Possible symptoms of deciduous teeth eruption

1. Itchy teeth: Mothers will find that their babies always want to pick their gums and like to bite things, which means that their babies are about to grow teeth. You can give them teething toys or teething biscuits to play with.

2. Drooling: When the baby drools a lot, the mouth is a little red and swollen, and there are lumps and protrusions, it also means that the baby is teething;

3. Decreased appetite: Due to the discomfort of teething, the baby will show a reluctance to eat and may also have mild diarrhea;

1. Crying and restlessness: Babies in the teething period are a little more irritable than usual;
