Being a parent is full of firsts: the first step, first smile, and the first time your child says a word. Getting the first tooth is no different, and it\u2019s an exciting milestone. If your child\u2019s first tooth doesn\u2019t erupt when you think it ought to, it could cause some concern for parents.<\/p>\n
Every child is different, while some babies get a tooth around 6 months of age – others may be closer to their first birthday. Girls typically get their teeth earlier than boys.<\/p>\n
To monitor proper development and health of your baby\u2019s smile, medical and dental experts recommend that all children have their first dental check-up by age 1, or when the first tooth develops; whichever comes first.<\/p>\n
If your child has delayed tooth eruption, it could be indicative of other types of developmental concerns. Our pediatric dentist will assess tooth development and formation to see if there is any cause for alarm.<\/p>\n
Some of the symptoms your child might start to experience as they\u2019re teething include drooling, crankiness, and viral symptoms: such as low-grade fevers or diarrhea in some cases. Fortunately, these side effects subside once the teeth cut all of the way through the gums.<\/p>\n
Taking your son or daughter to a children\u2019s dentist in Los Angeles<\/a><\/strong> is a great way to help him or her enjoy a healthy smile in the future. Routine checkups keep visits upbeat, with time spent on prevention than the need for treatment. Our pediatric dentist works with children of all ages, from infants to teens. And if you have questions about whether or not the teeth are coming in when they should, we can provide you with the right answers.<\/p>\n For further information or to schedule an appointment please contact Crystal Dental Centers at 213.748.8448<\/a><\/strong> or visit http:\/\/crystaldentalcenters.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being a parent is full of firsts: the first step, first smile, and the first time your child says a word.
