Все о прорезывании молочных зубов у младенцев… — пишет ˙·•๑♥Юлия на BabyBlog…и детей первых лет жизни.

Вот я рано радовалась — вылезло первых два нижних зуба без проблем, и я уже обрадовалась, что у нас все оки. Но не тут-то было… Вот уже полдня, как моя Машуля беспокойная….горячая (темп 37,8 и жидкая кака)))). Слюна ручьем, и ноем, ноем, ноем… Врач опровергла какое-либо заболевание. Диагноз один: зубы.
Вот я порылась в инете и нашла кое-какую инфу. Как распознать, отличить и правильно действовать. Может быть, кому-нибудь и пригодится….

   Прорезывание зубов у детей в подавляющем большинстве случаев начинается в возрасте 4-7 месяцев и происходит в более или менее точной последовательности (резцы, премоляры, клыки, моляры). И  небольшие отклонения от этого срока не должны тревожить родителей. Многие дети во время прорезывания зубов становятся беспокойными и капризными. Часто на фоне прорезывания зубов у ребенка появляется обильное слюнотечение, воспаление десен, наблюдается температура, несильный насморк, влажный кашель или понос. Для облегчения прорезывания зубов рекомендуется дать ребенку специальные резиновые кольца или игрушки для разработки десен, а в случае сильной болезненности десен использовать специальные обезболивающие гели.
   Как правило, зубы появляются в следующем порядке: первые резцы (верхние и нижние), вторые резцы (верхние и нижние), первые большие коренные зубы (верхние и нижние), клыки (верхние и нижние) и, наконец, вторые большие коренные зубы (верхние и нижние). К 3-х летнему возрасту, ребенок должен иметь полный ряд из 20 зубов, которые не должны выпадать примерно до 6 лет, когда будут готовы резаться постоянные зубы.
Также как и сроки прорезывания зубов, симптомы которые сопровождают этот процесс могут быть весьма разнообразными у разных детей и даже меняться, от случая к случаю, у одного и того же ребенка. Для многих детей и их родителей процесс прорезывания зубов является довольно сложным и болезненным, в других случаях, ребенок в течение всего времени не подает никаких признаков появления зубов, а счастливые родители замечают его «обновки» совершенно случайно.

Первые признаки прорезывания зубов – это сильное слюноотделение, болезненные, опухшие десны. Эти симптомы прорезывания зубов могут появиться еще за месяц или два до того, как зуб можно будет увидеть. Из-за дискомфорта и боли некоторые дети могут беспокойно спать, быть капризными, терять аппетит и проявлять желание грызть различные твердые предметы или держать пальцы во рту.  
Ближе к моменту появления зуба, на десне можно заметить белесоватое выпячивание или тонкую белую линию, которые издают характерное звонкое цоканье, если по ним осторожно постучать чайной ложкой (такое иногда делают некоторые предприимчивые родители).

Понос, насморк, кашель и повышение температуры тела как симптомы прорезывания зубов — мнения врачей относительного того, вызывает ли прорезывание зубов такие симптомы, как понос, насморк, влажный кашель и повышение температуры тела расходятся. Несмотря на то, что в определенных случаях связь между ухудшением состояния ребенка и появлением зубов практически очевидна, большинство врачей не включают повышение температуры тела, появления насморка, кашля и поноса в список возможных проявлений прорезывания зубов. Такое отношение имеет логическое объяснение: во многих случаях, прорезывание зубов у детей может длиться первые 2-3 года жизни и совпадает с периодом наибольшего риска различных инфекций, в связи, с чем неправильно и опасно «списывать» каждый эпизод температуры, кашля, поноса или насморка на прорезывание зубов. 
Тем не менее, повышение температуры, появление насморка, несильного поноса и влажного кашля на фоне прорезывания зубов возможно и наблюдается довольно часто.

Повышение температуры во время прорезывания зубов связано с выделением большого количества биологически активных веществ, в зоне роста зуба. В большинстве случаев повышение температуры при прорезывании зубов не превышает 38.5 С – 39 С и длится не более 1-2 дней. Для снижения температуры у детей рекомендуется использовать Парацетамол. 
Во всех случаях, когда повышение температуры у ребенка превышает 39 С или длится более 2 дней следует показать его врачу.

Появление поноса во время прорезывания зубов объясняется сильным слюноотделением (ребенок проглатывает много слюны) и ускорением перистальтики кишечника. Понос на фоне прорезывания зубов, как правило, водянистый, не очень частый (до 2-3 раз в сутки) и длится не более 1-3 дней. 
Во всех случаях, когда у ребенка появляется частый водянистый или кровянистый понос (более 3 раз в сутки), характерный для кишечной инфекции, следует показать ребенка врачу. См. также Понос.

Появление насморка во время прорезывания зубов объясняется повышенным выделением слизи железами полости носа. Насморк на фоне прорезывания зубов водянистый (слизь прозрачная и текучая), не очень обильный и длится не более 3-4 дней. Лечение насморка у детей во время прорезывания зубов лучше ограничить очищением носа от мокроты. См. также Насморк.
Во всех случаях, когда у ребенка наблюдается обильный гнойный (зеленоватый или белесоватый насморк) который сопровождается сильной заложенностью носа и длится более 3 дней — следует показать ребенка врачу.

Появление влажного кашля во время прорезывания зубов – объясняется скоплением в горле слюны, которая выделяется в больших количествах во время прорезывания.
Влажный кашель во время прорезывания зубов довольно редкий, усиливается в положении лежа и проходит в течение 2-3 дней. Такой кашель не требует никакого лечения. 
Во всех случаях, когда влажный кашель у ребенка становится частым, сопровождается выделение обильной мокроты, хрипами в бронхах одышкой и длится более 2 дней – следует показать ребенка врачу.

Для того чтобы не спутать прорезывание зубов с какой-либо болезнью мы рекомендуем всем неопытным родителям вызывать врача во всех случая повышения температуры, появления насморка, поноса или кашля у ребенка.

Как можно помочь ребенку во время прорезывания зубов?
В этот нелегкий для ребенка период родители должны поддержать его, чаще брать на руки, ласкать, отвлекать от боли интересными занятиями. Если ребенок находится на грудном вскармливании, его можно легко успокоить предложив ему грудь. Большинство детей, находящихся на грудном вскармливании, во время прорезывания зубов просят грудь намного чаще, по сравнению с обычными днями. Не стоит отказывать ребенку и тем более не нужно пытаться в эти дни устанавливать какой-либо график или пытаться отлучить ребенка от груди. Обычно, подобный «трудный период» длится не более 2-3 дней. 
В период прорезывания зубов дети часто испытывают желание погрызть или пожевать что-нибудь. Это помогает им облегчить неприятные ощущения. Предложите ребенку специальное резиновое кольцо, или другую эластичную резиновую игрушку. Многие источники рекомендуют охладить резиновое кольцо в морозильной камере, перед тем как дать его ребенку. Однако, стоит отметить что многие дети не любят холодные предметы или вовсе не интересуются специальными игрушками для разминки десен и сами выбирают себе любимый предмет для этого. В таком случае не стоит настаивать и давать ребенку именно специальные кольца. Просто проследите, чтобы выбранный ребенком предмет не имел острых концов, которыми ребенок мог бы порезаться, или мелких частей, которыми он может поперхнуться. Некоторые дети во время прорезывания зубов предпочитают грызть корочку хлеба или бублик. 
Дети очень быстро переключаются с одного настроения на другое. Только что рыдавший во всю силу ребенок может легко рассмеяться и наоборот. Поэтому лучший способ облегчить боль у ребенка это отвлечь его от нее. Найдите для ребенка интересное занятие, поиграйте с ним, погуляйте и он быстро забудет о своем дискомфорте. Не стоит думать, что если вы, когда вам плохо, предпочитаете лежать в тишине и отдыхать, тогда и для ребенка это будет лучшим вариантом.

В случае сильной болезненности десен, которая проявления сильным плачем, беспокойством, отказом ребенка от пищи можно использовать специальные гели, предназначенные для устранения боли во время прорезывания зубов. Такие гели удобно наносить на десны ребенка пальцем, слегка массируя их.

Если у ребенка появились вышеперечисленные симптомы, которые держатся более 1-2 дней, обязательно покажите ребенка врачу. Бывают случаи, когда врачи не находят никакого заболевания и тогда можно предположить что это могло быть вызвано прорезыванием зубов. Однако, во многих случаях, подобные симптомы вызваны серьезным заболеванием, таким как, например, воспаление среднего уха, пищевое отравление, вирусная инфекция и т.д. Поэтому не стоит сразу же списывать признаки заболевания на прорезывание зубов, ведь так вы можете упустить серьезное заболевание, что может закончиться крайне неприятными последствиями. Организм маленького ребенка еще не способен справляться со многими болезнями, поэтому при наличии явных признаков заболевания лучше лишний раз обратиться к врачу, чем обратиться слишком поздно. 

Из всех описанных выше проявлений прорезывания зубов требует лечения только температура и только в случае ее подъема выше 38,5 С. Насморк, кашель или понос вызванные прорезыванием зубов, не требуют никакого лечения.

For example, a baby’s first tooth appears at around six months, but development of those teeth actually begins during the early second trimester of pregnancy,» says Dr.Lal. 90004 90003 The crown of a tooth forms first, while the roots continue to develop even after the tooth has erupted. 90004 90003 The 20 primary teeth are in place between ages 2 ½ and 3 and remain until around age 6. Between ages 6 and 12, these primary teeth begin to fall out to make way for the permanent set of teeth. 90004 90003 Adult teeth start to grow in between ages 6 and 12. Most adults have 32 permanent teeth. 90004 90013 90014 The Parts of the Tooth 90015 90016 A tooth is divided into two basic parts: the crown, which is the visible, white part of the tooth, and the root, which you can not see.The root extends below the gum line and helps anchor the tooth into the bone. Your teeth contain four kinds of tissue, and each does a different job. These include: 90017 90016 90019 Enamel 90020 This is the visible substance that covers the tooth crown. Harder than bone, enamel protects the vital tissues within the tooth. Enamel is made up of hydroxyapatite, phosphorous, and calcium. 90017 90016 90019 Dentin 90020 Underneath the enamel you find dentin, which is calcified and looks similar to bone.Dentin is not quite as hard as enamel, so it’s at greater risk for decay should the enamel wear away. 90017 90016 90019 Cementum 90020 This tissue covers the tooth root and helps anchor it into the bone. It’s softer than enamel and dentin; the best way to protect this softer tissue from decay is by taking good care of your gums. Cementum has a light yellow color and is usually covered by the gums and bone. But with inadequate dental care, the gums may become diseased and shrink, exposing the cementum to harmful plaque and bacteria.90017 90016 90019 Pulp 90020 Pulp is found at the center and core of your tooth and contains the blood vessels, nerves, and other soft tissues that deliver nutrients and signals to your teeth. 90017 90014 Types of Teeth and What They Do 90015 90016 Teeth help you chew your food, making it easier to digest. Each type of tooth has a slightly different shape and performs a different job. Types of teeth include: 90017 90016 90019 Incisors 90020 Incisors are the eight teeth in the front of your mouth (four on top and four on bottom).These are the teeth that you use to take bites of your food. Incisors are usually the first teeth to erupt — at around 6 months for your baby teeth, and between ages 6 and 8 for your adult set. 90017 90016 90019 Canines 90020 Your four canines (fangs) are the next type of teeth to develop. These are your sharpest teeth and are used for ripping and tearing food apart. Primary canines generally appear between 16 and 20 months, with the upper canines coming in just ahead of the lower canines. In permanent teeth, the order is reversed, with lower canines erupting around age 9 and the uppers arriving between ages 11 and 12.90017 90016 90019 Premolars 90020 Premolars, or bicuspids, are used for chewing and grinding food. Adults have four premolars on each side of their mouths — two on the upper and two on the lower jaw. There are no primary premolars; the first premolars appear around age 10, with the second premolars arriving about a year later. These take the places of the first and second primary molars (described below). 90017 90016 90019 Molars 90020 Molars are also used for chewing and grinding food. Primary molars, also known as deciduous molars, appear between 12 and 28 months, and are replaced by the first and second premolars (four upper and four lower) described above.90017 90016 The permanent molars (also four upper and four lower) do not replace any primary teeth, but come in behind all of them, further back in the jaw. The first permanent molars erupt at around age 6 (before the primary molars fall out), while the second molars come in between ages 11 and 13. 90017 90016 90019 Third molars 90020 The third molars are commonly known as wisdom teeth. These are the last teeth to develop and do not typically erupt until age 18 to 20. Some people never develop third molars at all.For those who do, these molars may cause crowding and need to be removed. If they do not fully erupt they are said to be impacted, and are commonly removed. 90017 90016 Your mouth is important, so do not take your teeth or oral health for granted. «For good dental health, brush and floss your teeth regularly, do not smoke, eat a healthy diet, and see your dentist regularly for dental cleanings and checkups,» advises Lal. A healthy mouth makes for a healthy body — and a pretty smile. 90017.90000 Teething and vomiting: Is it normal? 90001 90002 Teething is a natural process that every infant goes through. It can be an uncomfortable experience, and it can be concerning for parents and caregivers to see the infant experiencing pain and discomfort. 90003 90002 The symptoms of teething vary from one infant to another. Some babies do not have any symptoms at all when their teeth come in. Others may become mildly irritable, begin to drool, lose their appetite, or cry more than usual. In some cases, vomiting and fever can accompany teething.90003 90002 Many people believe that vomiting while teething is normal. However, most experts now agree that teething does not cause generalized symptoms, such as vomiting, fever, rash, and diarrhea. 90003 90002 The caregivers of infants who experience vomiting when teething should visit a doctor or pediatrician to determine the underlying cause of this symptom. 90003 90002 Teething occurs when an infant’s teeth first begin to break through the gums.
