Teething And Your Infant
by Garcelina Duvantes
Teething is often a frustrating time not only for the baby but for the parents as well. Teething often begins in the first or fourth month of a baby's life. The first teeth that appear show up in the middle of the lower gum, these are known as central incisors and come in pairs.
Help your baby through this entire process by wiping away the drool with a clean wet rag. You can buy teething rings and leave them in the freezer for about half an hour to assist your baby. Try to avoid the teething rings with fluid inside them because these will sometimes break or leak.
You can give the child a chilled wash cloth to chew on as well. Yogurt or some applesauce from the fridge can also help relieve the pain. Mom or dad may take a clean finger and gently massage the baby's gum to relieve pain. To help your baby cope with the pain you might want to try giving the baby a small amount of children's pain reliever that contains acetaminophen but of course you must check with your doctor. You are never to put aspirin on your baby's gums as this has been associated with Reyes syndrome in infants.
Care for your infant's teeth by wiping the gums and teeth with water or use a soft bristled brush to clean the baby's teeth with water. You should never use toothpaste until the child can spit out, this usually happens at about three years of age. Once your child has the maximum amount of teeth try to brush them at least twice a day.
To ensure proper care of your infant's teeth wipe the child's gum with water, if you are looking for the ideal brush for the child's teeth then try a soft bristled brush. Toothpaste is not recommended until your child can spit out, most children can't do this until they are about three years old. Once your baby is capable of spitting brush the child's teeth twice a day. Although milk teeth are not permanent they should be taken care of because if they rot, the other milk teeth will try to take their place and this will cause them to become crooked. Your infant should have their first dental visit at one year of age.
