Teething complications

Teeth are not always erupting, according to the chart. There are some cases, when a few teeth are erupting at the same time.

Sometimes, when for teeth it is difficult to erupt, a pustule forms in that place. If mother notices that the gums are red with pus, she should immediately address a doctor. Sometimes there is a blue bag seen in the place of teeth eruption, which will be pierced by doctor, thus, facilitating a path for tooth. If there are no complications, teething pain can be relieved by special ointment, which can be bought in pharmacies. It should be applied to the gums before meal, in order a pain would not disturb to eat normally. Often the teething is accompanied by low temperature increase, diarrhoea, increased child’s irritability, trouble sleeping. If these symptoms are not very strongly expressed, raspberry or linden flower tea will be sufficient, other treatment is not needed.

High temperature should not appear only because of teething. If a thermometer shows more than 38 degrees, it is likely that teething coincides with other disease, then a child should be seen by doctor.

At dentist with empty mouth

If baby does not have any teeth at about sixth month, a pediatric dentist should be visited for the first time. A dentist will advise how to take care of oral hygiene, in order teeth would erupt in a clean environment. Before teeth eruption the gums should be cleaned with a wet piece of gauze daily. When the first incisors erupt, it is also sufficient to clean them with fabric, since those teeth are smooth, without furrows and easily accessible. When molars erupt, they do need a child’s toothbrush, because these teeth have furrows and bumps, which are difficult to clean.
