Parents often worry about future teething in their babies. They are trying to figure out which teeth can be especially painful to erupt, and they are trying to prepare as much as possible for a future event.
Which teeth hurt more when teething?
It is very painful for some children to endure the eruption of canines, and also teething occurs with anxiety when fours and fives appear. The teeth, going out with their sharp edges, cut through the tissue of the baby's gums, and therefore the child begins to be capricious and experiences unpleasant sensations when the gums begin to swell. Teething itself in a child occurs depending on his genetic parameters and biological age.
It is worth knowing that when the gums swell in a child, not only the exact place where the tooth erupts can hurt, but the entire mouth. A tooth may appear within a month, or even after two months it may not even appear on the gum surface. These are all the individual characteristics of your baby, and you should not be upset if, with a constantly inflamed gum and increased salivation for more than a month, the teeth did not appear.
A child under three years old should have 20 teeth, and their eruption can occur in different ways, so you should not find out which teeth were painfully erupting in other children.
Teething aid
There is only a small group of children who tolerate teething completely painlessly, but nevertheless, many children suffer to varying degrees from the pain that accompanies teething. About two months before the appearance of the first tooth, the child becomes whiny, capricious, his salivation increases, his appetite disappears, and restless sleep appears. This is due to the fact that the teeth are already erupting inside the gums, and in the child's mouth you may find a slight swelling in the place where the eruption occurs.
At this time, the baby develops feelings of pain or severe itching.
Suffering from pain, the child begins to behave restlessly and cry, if he cannot be distracted and soothed by games, in this case, special anesthetic gels can help you, they contain anti-inflammatory and antiseptic components. But this gel can be used no more than three times a day, so try to use it in very extreme cases. When itching appears, the child will try to chew everything that can be put in his mouth, so do not scold your child for this behavior, but rather give him special teether toys. The surfaces of such toys have different unevenness, and this helps the child to relieve the itching that has appeared.
