Teething order
Is your baby about to turn 6 months old and are you noticing some anxiety in his behavior? This is natural, because the time of teething comes. And this is a difficult period in a child’s life.
The timing of teething in children can vary widely. Normally, the first teeth begin to appear closer to 6 months.
But it happens that baby teeth erupt earlier or much later. And there is nothing terrible here; this process is associated with the constitutional characteristics of the child.
- If you follow the pattern of teething in children, the central incisors on the lower jaw appear first. This usually occurs at 6-10 months.
- The upper central incisors appear at 8-12 months, and the first molars at 13-19 months.
- The canines “wake up” last – by 16-22 months.
- By the age of 2, a child usually already has 20 teeth, and from 6 to 12 years, baby teeth are gradually replaced by permanent teeth.
- Wisdom teeth do not have a milky version and appear in late adolescence.
Tips for parents
The period of teething is stressful, first of all, for the baby himself; he can turn from a calm, sweet child for some time into an uncontrollable, capricious, always crying one. All this is temporary, and the more parents pay attention and care to him, the calmer they react to all negative manifestations of behavior, the easier it will be for everyone to get through this difficult time. It is important to try to distract the child from unpleasant sensations with some kind of entertainment: games and toys, household items, songs, cartoons, fairy tales.
At this time, it is important not to go to great lengths in the form of trying out various medications just to calm the child down. In case of doubt, it is better to consult a doctor once again, but you should not engage in amateur activities. The same applies to the opposite situation, when even if prescribed by a doctor, parents avoid medications in every possible way, explaining that everything should proceed naturally without outside interference. If the child is really unwell, you should not refuse “helpers”.
It happens that during this period children refuse to eat - it is possible that this is due to discomfort in the mouth due to contact of aching gums with food. In this case, you can try cooling the food a little. Perhaps it is worth offering your child some natural edible teethers, dryers, for example, more often. But you still can’t do without purchased ones; it is advisable to have at least 2, one of which can have a cooling effect (you just need to monitor its integrity).
Teeth from birth? It happens
In exceptional cases, children are born with teeth. As a rule, we are talking about the lower incisors. They are called (neo)natal teeth. They erupt within 30 days. Their root is mobile, not formed, and often such teeth quickly fall out.
This feature is fixed genetically - as a rule, the parents had the same thing, a characteristic picture is observed in the baby’s brothers and sisters. Doctors suggest removing such teeth to prevent them from entering the respiratory tract. But this is not a mandatory procedure, at the discretion of the parents.
Teething symptoms
The appearance of teeth causes some discomfort in children, which affects their behavior and general condition. In the support chat for the online course “For Every Mom,” we will look in more detail at the main symptoms and means of helping the child and mother. May this period pass as calmly as possible for you.
Teething has accompanying symptoms that will help you understand the cause of these changes:
- Salivation
- Irritation and rash around the mouth
- Change in stool (usually loosening)
- Runny nose
- Temperature increase
- Anxiety
- Moodiness
- Sleep disturbance
This process is not fast. Discomfort may occur several days before gum eruption. If this stage is delayed, they speak of difficult eruption.
There is no reliable information about why the temperature rises during teething in children. It can be assumed that this is a preventive protective reaction of the body. After all, as a result of teething, a tooth creates a wound in the gum, and the body proactively turns on a protective mechanism in the form of inflammation and an increase in temperature. This is necessary to prevent infection of the wound surface...

How to make teething easier
- First of all, it is necessary to remain calm and reassure the child that everything is under control and soon his suffering will end.
- Teething is accompanied by itching in the gums, which forces the child to chew on any hard objects. Provide him with clean and safe teethers - special rings, toys, rags.
- Cold significantly relieves pain and itching in the inflamed gums. You can pre-cool the teether in the freezer, apply ice wrapped in a cloth or bandage for a short time.
In medicine, during teething, special gels are actively used, which are applied to the gums at the site of inflammation: “Cholisal”, “Dentinox”, “Kalgel”... All of them have a local anesthetic effect. And any anesthesia has a detrimental effect on the body, suppressing its defenses.
However, you can ease your child’s suffering while strengthening his immunity. Homeopathy will help you with this. This method is very effective and safe for the baby.
Signs and help with teething
How to understand that your baby is unwell due to teething? The main signs are severe salivation, swelling of the gums, in which the child constantly tries to put his hand in his mouth. The temperature often rises, a runny nose and diarrhea appear, and the baby becomes lethargic. However, even if you have a fever for several days, doctors do not recommend bringing it down; this can only be done in case of severe fever. By the way, a runny nose is not a consequence of a viral infection. This phenomenon will go away immediately after the tooth “hatches”, so there is no need to fight it. But you can help a child “scratch” his teeth; for this now there are many different devices made of silicone - it is better if they have no liquid inside, there is a possibility of it leaking out when biting. You can get by with natural remedies - dried bread, crusts of bread, hard cookies, some even freeze cucumbers, bananas, carrots.
You can often find a baby chewing things, diapers, towels - such self-help also has a place. You can also try massaging your gums by wrapping a bandage around your finger. If such measures are not enough, then you can resort to the help of special gels; they have a local anesthetic effect: “Kalgel”, “Cholisal”, “Kamistad gel”, “Dentinox gel”, “Fenistil”. All of the listed medicines are classified as traditional medicine, but there are also homeopathic medicines based on natural raw materials.
Chamomilla
- A child in the Hamomilla state is capricious and irritable. He kicks, bites, fights, asks to be carried.
- He may demand one toy or another, but having received what he wants, he instantly loses interest in it and throws it away. Malaise is accompanied by outbursts of anger.
- The condition worsens at night, better from motion sickness (in the car, in a stroller). Strong-smelling, green, lumpy stools. A characteristic detail is that one cheek may be red and the other pale. The head sweats profusely, the sweat is hot.
Calcarea carbonica
- Children of this type are well-fed, chubby, but have flabby muscles. During sleep, the Calcarea child's head sweats, especially the back of the head. Sweat has a sour smell.
- These are children with late teething; the teething process itself is long. Such disorders are associated with calcium deficiency, which is poorly absorbed in this constitution.
- Tendency to frequent colds and ear infections. A passionate desire for eggs (especially soft-boiled ones), cheese and milk, as well as sweets is a sure sign of a calcareous child.
- He is worse in cold damp weather, better in warmth.
