Understand the development process of teeth

To understand the problem of children's teething, we must first talk about the growth and development process of human teeth, so as to solve the doubts one by one. In fact, everyone began to form the embryonic form of teeth as early as the fetal period, and developed into concrete deciduous teeth all the way, embedded in the gums, waiting for the right time to germinate. As far away as the sixth week of pregnancy, the small fetus in the mother's stomach quickly developed the oral cavity and related structures, and was regulated by the correct genetic information. There are dental plates on the surface of the upper and lower jaws, with only a thin layer of cells. The fetus develops into tooth buds when it is eight weeks old, and it begins to take shape at three months, but at six months. Almost all the deciduous teeth have been developed and quietly buried in the gums to prepare for the eruption of teeth. Only when another gene instruction is issued will they emerge one by one to serve the young master.

The speed of teething has nothing to do with nutrition.

But there are individual differences in teething speed and teething time. Healthy and normal children may have their first teeth in the neonatal period, commonly known as "ghost teeth", and some people may not grow their first teeth until 15 months old. In fact, as long as the child's nutritional intake is normal, his growth and intellectual development are within the normal range, and his appearance is normal, there is basically no need to worry about the speed of his teething. Have you noticed that African refugee children reported in newspapers and children in wars and famines often seen in the media are poor people, thin and weak, with big white teeth, which are quite abrupt and can't help but arouse sympathy. However, it is quite clear that teething is not necessarily related to nutritional status, that is, whether or not teething and when teething are "predestined", which is controlled by personal genetic characteristics, and other factors are insignificant even if they have an impact. When you know the truth, I believe you will be greatly relieved.

Personal constitution

Individual differences are normal, which is the most common situation. Teeth can be as slow as one year old, or even as late as one year and three months. Or a few teeth grow normally at first, but after a long time, there is no movement, which delays the time process of subsequent tooth growth. But on the whole, children's growth and development are good, and their intellectual development is normal, which can be judged as a normal physiological phenomenon. The families of these children may have a similar situation when they were young, which belongs to the family hereditary constitution.

Everything is clearly visible in your mind. If in doubt, you should consult a pediatrician or children's dentist as soon as possible to find out the real reason, so that children can get the most appropriate care and grow up smoothly.
