Bao Baba's Ma Bao should know:
There are two sets of teeth in a person's life: primary teeth and permanent teeth.
1. There are 20 deciduous teeth. From the second month of the embryo, it broke out about 6 months after birth, all of which broke out at about 2 and a half years old.
2. There are 28 or 32 permanent teeth, which erupt from the fifth month of the embryo, around 6 years old, and all of them erupt around 20 years old. Because of jaw degeneration, the third molar can be congenital missing, so a few people only have 28 teeth, but this situation has an increasing trend, so there is no need to worry about losing the third molar.
Dentition staging
1. edentulous period: from birth to 6-8 months, deciduous teeth did not erupt.
2. Formation period of deciduous dentition: from 6 to 8 months to 3 years old, deciduous teeth begin to erupt until all 20 deciduous teeth erupt.
3. deciduous period: 3 ~ 6 years old, from the completion of deciduous period to the eruption of the first permanent tooth.
4. Mixed dentition period: 6 years old to 12 years old, the replacement period of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth.
5. Permanent dentition: After 12 years old, all deciduous teeth are replaced by permanent dentition.

0-3 years old basic nursing
Nursing before teething
1. Keep your mouth clean
Ma Bao should pay attention to the cleaning of the baby's mouth when the baby is about to grow teeth.
Before the baby's teeth erupt, Ma Bao can wrap the index finger with gauze and soak the gauze with boiling water. Then put the wrapped index finger into the baby's mouth and wipe his tongue, gums, etc.
Tip: Let the baby drink some water after meals, so that the food residue can be washed clean.
Special note: treasure moms must not let their babies sleep with food such as bottles.
Do gum exercise
Babies with teething teeth often salivate, itch and bite.
Don't worry, you can solve it with a trainer made of silicone. Chewing in your baby's mouth can exercise your baby's jaw and gums.
Of course, you can also buy some biscuits that grind your teeth for your baby to eat, which can promote your baby's teething.
Chewing can relieve the pain of baby's teething period, especially eating cold things, so treasure moms can try to give their baby something slightly cold, such as bananas and apples.
Special note: when chewing, the baby must stand or sit. At the same time, adults should take good care of them in case of danger.
massage
The baby may be upset or bite because of teething. At this time, parents can wrap sterile gauze on their fingers and massage their baby's gums.
At first, the baby may be rejected because of the pain of friction, but gradually the baby will find that it can relieve the pain and then get better.
Nursing care after teething
For the teeth that the baby has grown, mothers can wrap the index finger with gauze and wipe them one by one.
After the baby grows the first tooth, mothers can dip some water in the finger-set toothbrush and carefully clean each baby's small deciduous teeth. You can also use a cleaning cotton swab or gauze to clean it.
Benefits: Not only can you clean your baby's teeth, but you can also gently massage your gums, which is very good for your baby's dental health.
Get rid of sb's bad habits
Such as biting lips, licking lips, biting tongue, sticking out tongue, sucking fingers, biting nails, etc. These bad habits may cause the baby's malocclusion, occlusal disorder and facial asymmetry, which will affect the tooth function and facial beauty.
Therefore, parents must always pay attention to correcting these bad habits of their babies.
If you have habits that cannot be corrected, you should go to the stomatology department as soon as possible and put on an appliance to help correct them.
Cultivate good eating habits
From the baby's fetal period, expectant mothers should supplement calcium, which is very beneficial to the baby's abdominal teeth.
During the baby's tooth development, it is necessary to supplement the baby with enough protein, vitamins and foods containing minerals such as calcium and iron, which will help the baby's tooth development.
Try to give your baby less sweets and snacks, which will reduce the chance of bacteria producing acid. Acids produced by bacteria can corrode teeth and lead to tooth decay.
Brush your teeth at the age of 0-3
Selection of toothbrush and toothpaste
When brushing your baby's teeth, you must choose a special baby toothbrush. The head is particularly small and the hair is particularly soft. Do not continue to use silicone finger pads or gauze.
Because once the baby has teeth, bacteria begin to colonize the tooth surface in the form of dental plaque biofilm, and will not fall off without brushing. Therefore, only a toothbrush with nylon bristles can brush teeth effectively.
When brushing your teeth, it's best to use baby-specific toothpaste, which can sterilize and inhibit bacteria.
How does Ma Bao brush his baby's teeth?
From the baby's first tooth of 6 months, it is necessary to clean the mouth: parents can use a finger toothbrush or finger gauze to dip in water to help the baby clean the teeth.
After the baby's small teeth basically grow out, you can use a toothbrush with a small head and soft hair. At this time, you don't have to care too much about the method of brushing your teeth, just brush every face clean and there is no soft dirt accumulation on your teeth.
Under 6 years old, parents are advised to help their baby brush his teeth, and it is not recommended that the baby brush his teeth independently too early. Because the flexibility of baby's wrist movements is a slow development process, such as tying a bow, the baby can't finish it until the first grade of primary school.
odontopathy
bacterial plaque
Reason: When the saliva glycoprotein in the baby's mouth comes into contact with the teeth, it adheres to the enamel surface to form a membranous substance, which makes the bacteria quickly adhere to the membrane. The synthetic dextran and the deposited glycoprotein together form a plaque matrix for children.
Hazard: Children's dental plaque is very harmful. Bacteria use dental plaque as culture medium to reproduce from generation to generation, and the toxins discharged stimulate gums.
Can cause gingivitis, including redness, purple, edema, bleeding when brushing teeth, etc.
Gingivitis further developed into periodontitis, with alveolar bone absorption, periodontal pocket, pus discharge and loose teeth.
Re-development will lead to gingival recession, root exposure, crown lengthening and tooth gap widening. Seriously affect the beauty of teeth.
