When do primary incisors appear?
How long does it take for a baby to cut his first tooth?
– depends on internal and external factors. The process of appearance of primary incisors is affected by genetic predisposition, climate conditions, and the baby’s diet. In girls, they erupt 1.5 months earlier than in boys. If a child’s smile begins to change only at 10 months, this is not considered a violation.
Most often, the first teeth appear on the lower gum, then the upper. The incisors erupt in pairs: if the first “white island” appears, after a few days the second one will be visible. After the first guest, the next molars emerge at intervals of several months.
Important! By the age of one year, the baby already has 8 teeth, 4 on each gum. But this is not the norm; some babies may have only one “white island”. But if by the child’s first birthday the gums are not even swollen, this is a reason to consult a dentist.
Prayers for babies' first teeth
The prayer should be read after reading the “Our Father.” The best address here would be to Saint Antipus.
Prayer to Saint Antipas:
“Oh, glorious holy martyr Antipos and quick helper to Christians in illness! I believe with all my soul and thoughts that the Lord has given you the gift of healing the sick and strengthening the weakened, for this sake I come running to you, as the blessed physician of illnesses, as the weak (or: weak) and kiss your venerable image with reverence (or: kissing) , I pray: by your intercession from the Heavenly King, ask me, who is sick (or: sick), for healing from the dental disease that depresses me: even though you are unworthy (or: unworthy) of seven to you, my most gracious father and ever-present intercessor: but you, being an imitator of God’s love for mankind, make me worthy (or: worthy) of your intercession through my conversion from evil deeds to a good life; heal the ulcers and scabs of my soul and body with the grace abundantly given to you, grant me health and salvation and good haste in everything, so that, having lived a quiet and silent life (or: having lived) in all piety and purity, I will be worthy to glorify the All-Holy Name with all the saints Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".
Reasons why a baby may have missing teeth:
- delayed physical development (rickets);
- absence of organ rudiments (edentia);
- lack of phosphorus, calcium, vitamin C, D and retinol;
- decreased thyroid activity (hypothyroidism).
Some children are born with a number of “white islands”. Doctors advise removing them so that the mother can freely feed the baby with breast milk. The first molar can come out at 4 months, but this may be a sign of a malfunction of the endocrine system.
How to protect a baby from damage
Magic conspiracy No. 1
The spell against the evil eye must be done at dawn. To protect the baby from the evil eye, you should take 3 small gray stones, water and 3 spoons.
Then pour some water into the plate so that it flows by spoonfuls. You need to wash your baby with this water: wet the chest, crown, and then give him a sip to drink. After the procedure, go outside, pour out the remaining water and say 3 times:
“It came from the forest, go there, it came with the wind, it came to the wind and go away, it came from the people, it came to the people and go away.”
Magic plot No. 2
While bathing in the bathroom say:
“Grandmother Solomonida hovered, washed, and spoke conspiracies - from one they lived into another, into a single vein. So that no lessons, no supervision, and no slander will bother you. It didn’t take its own thought, and it didn’t take its own – not the lingual and not the ear, not the spot and not the heel, not the plantar and not the infraplantar. Amen".
Symptoms of the appearance of primary incisors
It is difficult to say exactly how long it takes for a child to cut his first teeth, however, parents should know the signs of the appearance of “white islands”. The process of molar growth is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- swelling of the gums;
- excessive salivation;
- tearfulness, irritability;
- low-grade fever;
- sucking foreign objects.
Teething causes anxiety for the baby, manifested by bad mood and constant crying. Due to severe pain, the child sometimes refuses to eat.
Attention! An elevated temperature is not a necessary sign of the appearance of painters; if it does not rise above 37.5 degrees, there is no need to worry. With higher levels, there is a risk of developing a cold due to weak immunity.
Conspiracies from fear
Magic conspiracy No. 1
Say words over a sleeping child at any time of the day.
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us. Just as the damp earth does not shake, does not get scared, does not turn back, so our baby (name) will not be scared and will never shake off. Amen".
Magic plot No. 2
To say in the evening over the baby's crib:
“Across wide fields, and across wide valleys, across green meadows, and along golden sands, along fast rivers, the servant of God (name) walked.
How fast rivers overflow, how golden sands flow, how water rolls off green grass,
How long does it take to transform a smile?
How long it takes for the first tooth to be cut primarily depends on the characteristics of the baby’s body. First, the gums swell - the first stage. From this moment it may take up to 2 months until the first child appears.
The process of cutting through the painter itself can take from 3 to 7 days. At this time, the crumbs constantly drag everything into their mouths, pressing on the problem area, they relieve the pain. A gentle massage of the gums will help eliminate unpleasant discomfort.
You can use a massager, which can be easily purchased in a network of pharmacies and stores. Gels with benzocaine and lidocaine also help reduce the intensity of discomfort. But first you need to make sure that your baby is not allergic to the active components of painkillers.
Before using the gel, it is recommended to place it in the cold, thanks to which blood circulation is delayed and pain is reduced.
How to avoid diseases
Magic conspiracy No. 1
Magic words must be spoken over the child after he is born:
“I will get up, blessing myself, leave the house, crossing myself - I will go from the first doors to the second, from one gate to another, I will go out into an open field and go far, far to the sea-ocean. In the ocean-sea there is a white cast stone, and on it there is no alder, no blood, no tumor. So my child (name) would not have any pain, no pain, neither in the joints, nor in the veins, nor in the bones, nor in the head, nor in the brain, nor in the hot blood. Amen".
Magic plot No. 2
As in the previous plot, these words must be pronounced immediately after the birth of the baby.
“33 crows are flying, flying, carrying, carrying 33 stones. The crows sat on a hill, on a hill, under a fir tree, under a leaf, under a hot stove, under a steam bath. They took and removed any illness from the servant of God (child's name). Fly crows into an open field, go down into the blue sea, like the key to the bottom.”

Magic plot No. 2

“I bow to the sick belly of the servant of God’s child (name), I touch its pain, I bite it with strong teeth and spit over my left shoulder. There was severe pain - and there was none at all. Key, lock, tongue. Amen".
How to massage your child's gums?
In order for gum massage during teething to be effective and in no way harm the baby, it is important to do it correctly and technically.
- First, the massage therapist needs to wash his hands thoroughly with soap. It is not recommended to treat your hands with alcohol or other antibacterial compounds before touching your child's gums. If you do decide to treat your hands, be sure to rinse them with water after this procedure.
- You need to run your finger back and forth along the gum, exerting gentle pressure on the tissue. Don’t worry if your baby closes his mouth during the massage—it’s not in any danger to you or him. It is important not to hesitate, but to continue leisurely movements.
- The massage can be carried out until the baby stops being nervous.
You can massage the gums during teething using a gauze swab dipped in boiled cool water. The massage technique with a gauze pad is no different from manipulations performed with a finger. When wrapping the finger in gauze, parents should be careful not to put too much pressure on the gum. Cool water will provide the gums with an additional cooling effect and relieve pain.
Effective rituals
For teeth growth
To increase the growth rate of primary molars in children after the loss of baby teeth, you can perform a ritual. But to carry it out, you need to be sure that you respect your brownie, otherwise he will not help you. This is an appeal to the invisible owner of the house. You will need a child's milk tooth, a silver tea spoon, a church candle and honey. Only a close relative of the child should carry out a conspiracy to grow new teeth.
Light a candle, let a milk tooth live on a teaspoon. Next, bring the spoon to the candle flame and heat it up a little. Take out the tooth and dip it in honey. Then take it out of the container with honey and hide it in a secret place, while saying a spell for new teeth:
“Brownie, you are the owner of my house, you protect us all from all evil, you keep the house clean and in order, you help us find what we have lost. Now I have a special request for you. I’ll give you my baby’s milk tooth, and you give him strong, strong and healthy teeth. May they never spoil, hurt, break or rot. Let it be so".
Repeat the spell on new teeth three times. All words must be pronounced clearly, without changing places. It is important to be alone in the room so that no one distracts or interferes. It is recommended to appease the brownie before performing the ritual and provide him with a treat for the night. In the morning, give food to dogs or birds. Perform magical actions at night.
Tips for parents
To make teething pain relief safe, remember a few simple rules for caring for your baby:
- If you use a napkin or gauze swab for massage, you can take cold water to wet it, but if you need to fill the bottle, it is better to choose water at room temperature. The difference between the baby's body temperature and the water temperature will be sufficient.
- You should not freeze water teethers; just cool them in the refrigerator or keep them in the freezer for a few minutes. Remember, ice can harm your baby.
- For pain relief, you should not use medications containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). For babies, medications based on acetaminophen and ibuprofen are more suitable.
The main symptoms that occur during teething
During the period when a child is teething, the following is most often observed:
- increased salivation;
- swelling, redness, soreness of the gums;
- irritability;
- sleep disturbance;
- poor appetite;
- need for chewing, biting, sucking.
Rarer symptoms include:
- temperature rise to 380;
- diarrhea;
- rhinitis;
- nausea and/or vomiting.
According to research by scientists from the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Further Professional Education RMANPE of the Ministry of Health of Russia, certain symptoms occur in 60-70% of children. And only 30-40% do not experience any unpleasant manifestations. The symptoms listed above are more pronounced in infants who had low birth weight.
The study authors also concluded that in most cases, fever, runny nose, and diarrhea are not associated with the process of teeth emerging, but with manifestations of infection. If the pediatrician determines that the child’s condition is caused by teething, parents have no particular reason to worry. You just need to help the baby get through this difficult period.
