Signs of first tooth growth
When a calm and smiling child suddenly becomes tearful and irritable, most likely his teeth begin to be cut. In some cases, the teeth climb so hard that the baby rises, a slight runny nose appears, and there may be diarrhea. As a rule, the most difficult thing is with the upper teeth and fangs. But do not be very scared, not all children do this. Much more often, the first teeth cut through quickly and almost painlessly, delivering only temporary inconvenience.
A sign that the child is preparing for the appearance of the first teeth is drooling. Active salivation may begin as early as the third month of a child’s life. Drooling usually does not bother the baby.
If you look into the mouth of a baby you can see pink gums. When the tooth begins to grow, the gum swells a little and a tubercle appears. In the place of which, after a while, a strip of white tooth will appear. Sometimes these tubercles become edematous and reddened. During this period, touching them causes pain in the baby.
