When Babies Are Teething
Posted June 27th, 2010 by SpikeAround two months of age babies start the teething stage. This is similar to kittens sometimes. The first sign is when they start to drool, at this time you should put a bib on your baby to prevent any irration that may happen because of the wetness.
When you baby is able to grip a rattle they are old enough to hold a teething ring. It would be a great idea to have a couple in the fridge for hen you baby needs them. This can be considered the same as babies most of the time. It is not a very great idea to freeze the teething ring because it could cause the babies gums to be frost bit.
Usually the first tooth will appear around six to nine month. However if you or any other close family member had teeth sooner your baby’s teeth may erupt sooner too. When your baby’s teeth erupt they need to be cleaned. You can clean your baby’s teeth using a washcloth or a soft toothbrush.
It is time to start flossing your baby’s teeth when they have many teeth that have erupted out of the gum. When your child tries to floss it will teach them some fine motor skills. Studies done by the American Dental Association have proved that; tooth brushing alone only removes about forty percent of food that will stick to them. Of course this has nothing to do with puppies usually. Without this flossing daily cavities and nasty breath is sure to come quicker.
A dentist needs to see your child twice per year. The very first time should be when they are able to sit for ten minutes. This needs to be done by the time your child turns three years old.
