Patient's question:
When my child was born, they discovered he had "teeth in heaven" (a condition where small white bumps appear on the gums), so they tried to pick them out with a needle. But he cried so hard that they couldn't do it. Lately, he hasn't been eating much milk, and I wonder if it's because of the "teeth in heaven."Doctor's answer:
Hello, the baby's deciduous teeth, it is claimed that the eruption of the teeth is due to the accumulation of epithelial cells or retention of mucous gland swelling, which is a normal phenomenon. The teeth often appear as small white bubbles, do not break them, as it may lead to infection. It will gradually heal on its own, as it is a developmental abnormality during the growth process. The eruption of the teeth will not affect the baby's ability to breastfeed. I suggest you do not worry too much. The baby not eating milk is not related to the eruption of the teeth.
