What's the secret of the baby's gum color being different?

The oral mucosa of infants is relatively thin, and it has been in the development stage from edentulous to deciduous teeth. Moreover, the baby's oral state will not only affect his own nutritional intake, but also indirectly reflect his health and development problems. As an important part of the mouth, some changes in the gums can also be used as the basis for the baby's health. Today, I'm going to popularize some knowledge about baby's gum problems. I hope Ma Bao can apply what he has learned after reading it.

Red gums

Babies start teething when they are six months old. During this period, in addition to drooling and fever, bright red and redness will appear around the gums. Parents should not worry too much. This is normal. If Ma Bao is all right, she can gently massage the baby's gums with her fingers. If she feels hard, it is probably a new tooth that is about to grow. Ma Bao should properly use grinding bars and gutta percha for babies to help them reduce the discomfort during teething. After the baby drinks milk, use soft gauze to touch the water and clean the baby's mouth.

White chewing gum

When the baby's gums are milky white and slightly raised, they look like patches of milk, which is probably due to thrush caused by Candida albicans infection. If Ma Bao finds that there are white patches on the baby's gums that can't be wiped with wet cotton cloth, she will take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible. If the treatment is not timely, the baby will have difficulty in breastfeeding, which will spread to cause respiratory diseases and even other bacterial infections, leading to sepsis.

Yellow gum

Yellowing of gums mainly occurs in newborns, about 4-6 weeks after birth. This kind of performance is that there are yellow-white spherical particles on the gingival margin of the baby's gums or on both sides of the cleft palate, which look like they are adsorbed on the gums from a distance, also called "horse teeth". As the baby grows up, this yellow particle will fall off. Ma Bao should not use sharp tools to help the baby get rid of it, otherwise it will damage his oral health.

Brown gum

Most people rarely have dark brown gums. If the baby's gums are dark brown, it is likely to have oral diseases such as periodontitis and dental plaque stones. Often accompanied by baby loss of appetite, insomnia, emotional instability, crying, parents should take their baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.

You see, the baby's oral problem is also very important. If there is something wrong with the baby's gums, the body will feel uncomfortable, so Ma Bao should pay attention to cleaning the baby's mouth and wiping his gums with a finger brush. After drinking milk, he can be taught to rinse his mouth and wash away the bacteria in his mouth.
