In the second trimester of pregnancy (around 16-20 weeks), primary teeth begin to grow.\u00a0 An expectant mother should eat a healthy, nutritious diet during this time, since nutrients are essential for the development of bone and soft tissues.<\/span><\/p>

Although there are some differences between individuals regarding the timing of the eruption of primary teeth, primary teeth usually appear between the ages of six and eight months.\u00a0 The primary teeth will emerge by the age of three in a total of twenty sets.<\/span><\/p>

It is recommended that a child receive their first “well-baby” dental visit around the age of twelve months (or six months after the first tooth emerges).\u00a0 As well as getting the baby used to the dental office, this visit allows the pediatric dentist to monitor development and gives parents a chance to ask questions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Children tend to emerge with pairs of teeth at the front of their mouths.\u00a0 The two lower central incisors break through between the ages of six and ten months.\u00a0 In order to prevent cavities from developing between two adjacent teeth, flossing should be initiated at this point.<\/span><\/p>

Approximately eight to twelve months after the eruption of the lower central incisors, the two upper central incisors will emerge (sometimes simultaneously).\u00a0 The process of teething can be quite uncomfortable for the infant.\u00a0 The irritation and discomfort associated with teething can be eased with cold damp cloths and clean teething rings.<\/span><\/p>

In the period between nine and sixteen months, the upper lateral incisors emerge – one on each side of the central incisors.\u00a0 It is also around this time that the lower lateral incisors emerge, which means that the infant has four adjacent teeth on both the lower and upper arches.\u00a0 Pediatric dentists recommend that toddlers stop using sippy cups at the age of fourteen months. As a result, the risk of “baby bottle tooth decay” is minimized.<\/span><\/p>

There are eight more teeth that break through between the ages of thirteen and twenty-three months.\u00a0 Each lateral incisor is immediately adjacent to a cuspid or canine tooth.\u00a0 On both jaws, first molars will emerge immediately behind (looking toward the back of the child’s mouth).<\/span><\/p>

Finally, the lower arch is usually the first one to receive a second set of molars.\u00a0 Before the age of thirty-three months, most children have a complete set of twenty primary teeth.\u00a0 It is common for pediatric dentists to apply dental sealants to the molars in order to prevent food particles, bacteria, and acids from attacking the enamel.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition to preserving space for permanent teeth, primary teeth also serve as a guide to their alignment in the future.\u00a0 Additionally, primary teeth contribute to the production of speech, prevent the tongue from protruding abnormally, and play an important role in chewing.\u00a0 As a result, it is critically important for the child to learn how to take care of his or her newly emerging teeth.<\/span><\/p>

The following tips may be helpful:<\/span><\/p>

  1. Two brushings a day are recommended <\/b>\u2013<\/span>
    <\/span> According to the AAPD, children under the age of two should use a pea-sized amount of ADA-approved toothpaste (non-fluoridated), and children over this age should use the same amount of ADA-approved toothpaste (fluoridated).\u00a0 For infants, a soft-bristled toothbrush is recommended.<\/span><\/li>
  2. Make flossing a habit <\/b>\u2013<\/span>
    <\/span> Flossing an infant’s teeth can be difficult, but it should begin as soon as two adjacent teeth emerge.\u00a0 It is the pediatric dentist’s pleasure to demonstrate proper flossing techniques.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Maintain a balanced diet <\/b>\u2013<\/span>
    <\/span> Sugars and starches fuel oral bacteria, which produce harmful acids and damage tooth enamel.\u00a0 Make sure the child eats a balanced diet and reduces sugary and starchy snacks.<\/span><\/li>
  4. Set a good example<\/b> \u2013<\/span>
    <\/span> Children are often more likely to follow their parents’ example when it comes to brushing and flossing.\u00a0 Make sure the child understands the importance of good oral health; age-appropriate books are often helpful.<\/span><\/li>
  5. Get a dental checkup<\/b> \u2013<\/span>
    <\/span> Pediatric dentists monitor the development of children’s teeth, provide professional cleanings, apply topical fluoride to teeth, and coat molars with sealants.\u00a0 It is beneficial to visit the dentist twice a year in order to prevent a variety of painful conditions in the future.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    Please contact your pediatric dentist if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s teeth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
