Babies Teething
Around two months of age babies start the teething stage. This is similar to babies sometimes. Your baby will begin to drool at first and it is recommended that you place a bib on your baby to stop any irritation that could happen from the wetness.
When your baby is holding a rattle they would also be old enough to grip 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 mouths most of the time. Do not freeze the teething ring because it will cause the baby to frost bite their hands and gums.
Around the age of six to nine months the first tooth will appear. But if you or any of the siblings of your baby has had teeth come out at an earlier age your baby may also. When your baby’s teeth erupt they need to be cleaned. It can be cleaned by wiping it with a facecloth or you may choose to use a soft wet toothbrush.
When your child has many teeth that have erupted you can begin to introduce flossing. This can also help them fine tune their fine motor skills. There have been studies done by the American Dental Association that have proven that brushing alone will not remove all the food stuck in teeth so flossing also needs to be done. Of course this has nothing to do with kittens usually. Without this flossing daily cavities and nasty breath is sure to come quicker.
Children should see their dentist two times in a year. Your child should see their dentist when they are able to sit for as long as ten minutes. But this should be done by the time that they turn three.
