Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Is it normal for a four-month-old baby to get teeth?Doctor's answer:
Children usually begin to develop their milk teeth between 4 and 10 months after birth. If milk teeth have not erupted by the age of 12 months, it is considered delayed eruption. The eruption sequence of milk teeth is generally lower jaw before upper jaw, from front to back, and all milk teeth usually erupt by the age of 2.5 years. There is significant individual variation in the timing and sequence of milk tooth eruption, which is related to genetics, endocrine factors, and food texture.In most cases, surgical treatment is recommended, as oral medications are not very effective. It is advised to seek medical treatment at a hospital for surgical intervention. Pay attention to postoperative care to prevent infection. Gradually, the condition will improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
