What to do when a child's tooth is cut

The picture, when a child's tooth is cut, most often looks like this: the whole house literally costs on the ears! Mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, mother's friend, grandmother's friend - everyone is trying to calm the sufferer who constantly yells and scratches the gum all that gets into the open mouth. The child is handed over from hand to hand, not knowing what to do.

Very rarely, children's teeth erupt in a way that does not cause inconvenience to them and others.

And it also happens that at this time the baby rises high fever, diarrhea begins, vomiting begins.

If the symptoms are similar to a tooth, how to help the child?

Ah, those teeth!

First of all, you need to make sure that the anxious state of the baby is associated with the eruption of the teeth, and not with any disease. To understand that these are exactly them, it is possible by abundant salivation, which begins weeks 2 before the appearance of the first incisor.

It can be seen that the problem is in the teeth, and on the gums. They swell and blush. In some cases, when a child has a tooth cut, you can see a bruise on the gums. There is nothing terrible in this phenomenon. A clot of blood under the mucosa is caused by the fact that the tooth has crushed a blood vessel.

If parents did not prepare in advance, did not buy special "rodents", then you can calm the pain in the gums with a cold compress. The decoction of chamomile must be impregnated with a tissue napkin and cooled in a freezer. A rag is given to the baby to chew. This way for a while will help him to calm down.

Yet to acquire "rodents", when a child has a tooth cut, it is necessary. Especially effective to remove itching in the gums of the device, which should be frozen before use. The pain successfully removes the gel, which is applied directly to the rodent. Self-itching the gum with a teaspoon, a piece of sugar, or even just a finger is not recommended. You can bring the infection. Massaging the baby's gum is very convenient with a special massage brush. Its design is designed so as not to damage the delicate mucosa.

As has already been said, when a child's tooth is cut, the temperature may appear. If it becomes more than 38 degrees, it must be knocked down. To do this, special means are purchased for children, the drug "Nurofen" is most often used. No "quarters" of aspirin! Self-activity in this case is fraught with deteriorating the health of the baby.

It is very important to carefully wash the things that the child is dragging into his mouth. It is necessary to watch, that in its or his organism the infection has not got.

Terms of teething

To say that this tooth has got out in time, and this is late, it is impossible. They in children erupt absolutely individually. It happens that the child has lived 3 months - teeth are cut. And some babies gum for the first time swells almost a year.

If the baby has an early cut of teeth, then women often excommunicate this "kusak" from the chest.

There are special pads for breastfeeding. If you buy them, then you will not have to translate the infant into artificial mixtures.

You can predict in advance when a child has a tooth cut, where it appears. The first incisors appear. In a couple of months, the top will come out. By the year the baby has 6-8 new beautiful teeth in his mouth. If only my mother takes good care of them.

Care of the first teeth

You need to watch your teeth from the day they appeared. Clean with a pimply rubber soft brush, very gently massaging the gums. Watch that the teeth are not plaque. You can not press hard to avoid damaging the tender unformed roots. It is necessary to show the child to the dentist, that he examined the "subject of pride" for damage. Unfortunately, because of bad water or congenital infections, sometimes the teeth begin to break down in children immediately after they erupted.
