There is no indicator that shows when the teething of babies will start and how long and painful it will be. The emergence of a baby's tooth can happen overnight without any pain, but for the others it can be nervous and painful period. Sometimes a small hole can be seen in the gum for a period of several weeks, and sometimes the erupted tooth can be directly seen. The process of teething often has a hereditary influence. So if the mother's or father's teeth have grown earlier or later, the same can be expected for the child. Most often the first tooth appears in the 6th or 7th month. In some cases this can happen after the 3rd month or when the child is 1 year old.
There are 20 milk teeth, which is 12 less than the 32 permanent teeth that adults have. When the child is 2-3 years old, it already has all 20 milk teeth. These teeth are temporary and when the child is 6-7 years old they fall and are replaced by permanent teeth. You must remember that everything is strictly individual for each child. Here are some examples of the growth of teeth symptoms which are different for different children. That's why parents and doctors have different opinions about the growth and pain of teething. Below are listed the symptoms that could occur during teething of children:
-Temper: before the tooth shows up, the crown can become hard and sensitive to pain, which makes the child very nervous. Pain and discomfort are often highest in the emergence of the first tooth and molars because of their size. However, it is possible that the child is going nervous during teething.
-Scratching: after the third or fourth month you may notice how your baby starts putting everything in its mouth and scratching its gums. This is caused by the growth of teeth.
-Coughing: increased salivation during the day may cause coughing. This is not something you have to worry about if your child looks good and has no signs of cold, fever or any discomfort.
-Rubbing the cheeks and ears: the reason for friction of cheeks and stirring the ears may be caused by the pain of teething. This happens most often when the molars grow.
-High temperature: it is another symptom that doctors relate to teething. If the temperature is very high and lasts more than 2 days, you should seek medical care.
-Restless sleep: the pain caused by teething can appear during day or night. This may be the reason why your child wakes up more often at night than usual. According to most parents, the child wakes up more at night when the first two teeth and molars grow.
