acceptable.\u00a0 If no teeth have erupted at the age of 1, the baby should be taken to a dentist for examination.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What symptoms are visible in the gums during eruption?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Distemper, lack of appetite, itchy gums, and an increase in saliva may occur a day or two prior to eruption.\u00a0 The gums where the tooth is about to erupt may be swollen.\u00a0 All of these complaints will cease once the teeth have erupted, and there is no medication to cure all complaints.\u00a0 Creams sold in pharmacies may be used before feeding in order to comfort the child.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1884186808\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div

eruption?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Previously, all problems a child had when they reached eruption age would be tied to tooth eruption.\u00a0 While eruption may have certain effects on the child, conditions such as convulsions, diarrhea, and bronchitis are no longer connected with eruption.\u00a0 In order to be able to tie irregularities in a child&rsquo;s general condition to eruption, all other reasons need to be analysed.\u00a0 It is therefore important to consult a pedodontist if such a problem is confronted.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When will the eruption be completed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The eruption of baby teeth will be completed between the age of 24 -30 months.\u00a0 Completely erupted milk teeth in children consist of 20 teeth in total; 10 on the upper jaw and 10 on the lower jaw.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When do permanent teeth erupt?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At age six, permanent teeth start erupting from behind the milk teeth.\u00a0 These are in the form of 2 each on the upper and lower jaw on both left and right, four in total.\u00a0 Because they are commonly mistaken for milk teeth, they are often extracted instead of being treated when decayed.\u00a0 However, extraction of these teeth which are very important in the tooth system, leads to crookedness whose treatment is very difficult.<\/p>\n<p>At the ages of 7-11 the milk teeth start to wobble and the permanent teeth emerge from the bottom, replacing them.<\/p>\n<p>At the age of 12, the second set of permanent grinders emerge.\u00a0 These too do not replace the milk teeth.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What happens when a child is born with teeth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Occasionally babies are born with teeth or their teeth may erupt immediately after birth.\u00a0 Extraction of these wobbly teeth may be necessary as the baby may swallow or choke on them.\u00a0 They may also cause irritation to the mother&rsquo;s nipples during breastfeeding.\u00a0 In such cases, dentist intervention may be necessary.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brushing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>When should brushing of baby teeth start?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As soon as the first teeth appear in the mouth, they should start to be cleaned.\u00a0 By using a clean cloth or gauze, the teeth should be cleaned by wiping after breakfast and before going to sleep.\u00a0 Use of a toothbrush should begin after the first rear teeth start to appear.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is the best method of brushing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is very difficult to suggest and enforce a brushing method to preschool children.\u00a0 The important thing is to make brushing a habit with them.\u00a0 When brushing, children generally brush the surfaces of visible or easily accessible teeth.\u00a0 However, germs accumulate more easily between the teeth and on the chewing surfaces.\u00a0 Therefore parent supervision is essential before brushing.\u00a0 In school age children, the toothbrush should be placed on the spot where the teeth and gums meet, at a 45\u00ba angle, and then the chewing surfaces of the teeth should be brushed by back and forth movements.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Which toothbrush should be preferred for children?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fitting to the size of the child&rsquo;s mouth, soft and nylon bristled toothbrushes should be used.\u00a0 Hard brushes are not advisable as they may erode the teeth.\u00a0 Just as a worn out broom cannot adequately clean the floors, an old toothbrush cannot clean teeth.\u00a0 As soon as a toothbrush&rsquo;s bristles start to wear out (on average every 3 months), they must certainly be changed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Which toothpaste should be used with children, and how much?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Toothpaste is not recommended for babies in their infancy and children up to the age of three. Use of toothpaste should start after the age of three.\u00a0 However, contrary to what is shown in advertisements, the amount applied onto a toothbrush should be the size of a pea, not half a finger&rsquo;s length.\u00a0 When the toothpaste stage begins, any one of the fluoride toothpastes on the market preferred.\u00a0 It is imperative to remember that an effective brushing process is more important than the choice of toothpaste.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How many times a day should a child brush his\/her teeth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A three minute brushing session, once before breakfast and once before going to bed, is sufficient.\u00a0 Just as in many good childhood habits, the habit of brushing teeth is also acquired during childhood.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Should milk teeth be treated?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Milk teeth, just like permanent teeth, should be treated.\u00a0 Having them extracted on the basis that &ldquo;they&rsquo;re going to be replaced, anyway!&rdquo; is a notion that can lead to a number of problems.\u00a0 The importance of milk teeth can be emphasised as follows:<\/li>\n<li>Milk teeth play an important role in growth.\u00a0 Children with toothaches cannot eat properly.\u00a0 Similarly, children who have teeth extracted cannot eat and therefore cannot grow and develop.<\/li>\n<li>Aside from general body development, milk teeth are also necessary for the development of the jaws.\u00a0 Children who have teeth extracted due to cavities or gum problems may see their jaw drop and look older.<\/li>\n<li>Teeth are necessary for talking.\u00a0 Especially during the phase where children learn how to talk, the lack of front milk teeth may lead to the letters F, V, S, Z and T to be mispronounced, which may turn into lifetime habit.<\/li>\n<li>Every child likes to smile.\u00a0 Healthy teeth are needed for a nice smile.<\/li>\n<li>Looking attractive is a natural need in people of all ages.\u00a0 Children with decayed or missing teeth may think they look ugly, which may in turn cause psychological discomfort.<\/li>\n<li>One other function of the milk teeth is to save the place of the permanent teeth emerging from below.\u00a0 Imagine 10 children seated next to each other on a couch.\u00a0 When one of the stands up and leaves, the others reshuffle and fill his\/her space to be more comfortable.\u00a0 If then another child comes and tries to sit amongst them, they will have to squeeze together.\u00a0 Similarly if a milk tooth is extracted before it is supposed to, the neighboring teeth shift towards the gap.\u00a0 This leaves no room for the tooth emerging from the bottom.\u00a0 This tooth squeezes the others, causing crooked teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>A Child&rsquo;s First Visit to the Dentist<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>When should a child first be taken to the dentist?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most ideal time for this is the six months after the first teeth emerge.\u00a0 Problems with a child&rsquo;s teeth may start at a very early age.\u00a0 Obtaining information about the child&rsquo;s feeding, tooth care, and sucking habits may prevent problems from happening before they start.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How should a child and a parent prepare for the first examination?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Obtaining information regarding the procedure before taking a child to the dentist is the best option.\u00a0 Contacting a dentist before very large cavities form and violent pains start will ensure that the treatment goes much more smoothly for both the child and the dentist.\u00a0 However, a child brought to the dentist&rsquo;s office with the preconceived notion that an injection will not be administered, will lose all faith in both the parents and the doctor should anaesthetics need to be applied.\u00a0 Therefore correctly informing a child regarding treatment is important in terms of fighting their fears and re-establishing their trust.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why do children have a fear of dentists, and what measures can be taken?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If the parents explain to the child that there is nothing to fear in dental treatment, they can easily be taken to the dentist&rsquo;s office.\u00a0 However, some parents scare children into thinking that dentists are an matter of fear with statements like &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t behave, I will take you to the dentist and he will pull your tooth out!&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Going to the dentist&rsquo;s office should not carry an element of punishment.\u00a0 On the contrary, an atmosphere in which the child enjoys going to the dentist&rsquo;s office should be created.<\/li>\n<li>Another point to be careful about is that a correlation should not be drawn between going to the dentist and the pain the child is going to be subject to.\u00a0 However, misleading the child with &ldquo;Your tooth won&rsquo;t hurt at all&rdquo; will only make future treatment more difficult.<\/li>\n<li>Good dialogue between the dentist and the child will assist the child in fighting his\/her fears.\u00a0 For this to happen, it is important that the parent allow the child to answer the dentist&rsquo;s questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Please contact via right section form without any hesitations, in order to get optimal information.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3151,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-transparent-header-light.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3358","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dis212dentalgroup.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
