What is the reason for a small white tooth growing?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, the baby is 55 days old today. We noticed a small white tooth growing. Is it normal? At birth, there was a "milk tooth," and now this one is growing in the symmetrical position of the milk tooth.

Doctor's answer:

Dear friend, hello, it is a great pleasure to answer for you. According to the situation you described, this is mainly considered to be caused by prolonged teething. Such a young baby generally does not grow teeth, so it is mainly important to pay attention to maintaining good oral hygiene and letting the baby drink more hot water. For breastfeeding, it is recommended to eat less greasy, spicy, and irritating foods to prevent overheating and avoid affecting the baby. It is suggested to use baking soda for cleaning.
