The first set of teeth, or milk-teeth as they are called, are twenty in number; they usually appear in pairs, and those of the lower jaw generally precede the corresponding ones of the upper. The first of the milk-teeth is generally cut about the sixth or seventh month, and the last of the set at various periods from the twentieth to the thirtieth months. Thus the whole period occupied by the first dentition may be estimated at from a year and a half to two years. The process varies, however, in different individuals, both as to its whole duration, and as to the periods and order in which the teeth make their appearance. It is unnecessary, however, to add more upon this point.Their developement is a natural process. It is too frequently, however, rendered a painful and difficult one, by errors in the management of the regimen and health of the infant, previously to the coming of the teeth, and during the process itself.Thus, chiefly in consequence of injudicious management, it is made the most critical period of childhood.

Yearly, millions of infants around the world are suffering from tooth decay caused by baby products like formula milk and fruit juices.Parents often let their babies sleep with a bottle of formula or juice in their mouth. Although most cases prove that infants tend to sleep better and faster with this process, the sugar content in these products soak the teeth throughout the night. Thus, it nourishes the bacteria that produce acid and destroys the teeth overtime. Also, the babys saliva flows slowly at night which worsens the case.In order to prevent dental cavities in your baby, never let your child fall asleep while feeding. After feeding, gently wipe your childs teeth with a clean, wet cloth. If it is really necessary to hand your child a feeding bottle as he/she sleeps, fill the bottle with water. Water is sugar-free.
