What are the symptoms before a baby starts teething?

When babies grow to a certain stage, teething is a necessary stage. Since each baby's physique is different, the performance of teething is also different. In most cases, babies begin to grow deciduous teeth when they are more than 4 months old. Generally, babies will show some abnormal performance in their bodies before teething, as long as the mother observes carefully, they can find them. For example, some babies will drool, want to chew things, etc.

What should I do if my baby's deciduous teeth haven't fallen out and teeth are growing again?

If children's new teeth have grown out but their deciduous teeth have not fallen out during the tooth replacement period, parents should take their children to the hospital as soon as possible to have the doctor extract them, so as not to affect the growth of the children's new teeth in the normal gum position. However, if a child has exceeded the age of replacing teeth and his/her deciduous teeth have not fallen out and new teeth have not grown out, do not extract them easily to avoid the possibility that the new teeth will be missing and unable to grow out. The deciduous teeth should be kept as much as possible.

When children are in the period of tooth replacement, parents should observe their children's tooth growth in time. If new teeth appear and the deciduous teeth have not fallen out yet, parents can observe to see if the deciduous teeth have become loose. If the teeth have come out together, the deciduous teeth must be pulled out, otherwise it will affect the growth of new teeth and cause malocclusion. Parents should detect and deal with the problem early.

As the child grows older, parents should let the child eat more chewy foods such as jellyfish, peanuts, sugar cane, spiced beans, etc., so as to maintain a good stimulation effect on the deciduous teeth and promote the timely shedding of deciduous teeth. When the child is about 10 years old and all the teeth in the mouth have grown out, parents can add some celery stalks, corn, apples and other foods to them to ensure a smooth replacement of teeth and allow the child to have a healthy and neat permanent teeth.
