Question 1

does ice cream prevents babies teeth to errupt early?

Accepted Answer

No: Babies teeth erupt on their own time scale which is quite variable. Some have a couple teeth at birth and some have none until 15+ months. The cause of this variability is unknown.

Question 2

can babies teeth at 17 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, babies can be: born with teeth, and some infants do cut their first teeth by 3-4 months, although 6-9 months is more common. At 16 w, infants start bringing things to their mouths and like to mouth things as part of their normal development, and it is not necessarily a sign of teething.  Before the lower incisors erupt, the surface of the lower jaw will flatten and if it is still narrow, teething is not imminent

Question 3

when do babies get teeth?

Accepted Answer

Varies : Dental eruption patterns are quite variable in healthy babies with no deficiencies or abnormalities. Some can have a tooth at birth, or not until 15mo. The average is 1/m starting at 4-6m. Those coming later often have multiple erupt @ the same time.

Question 4

can babies teeth at 6 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Possible, but very unlikely. I have seen teeth erupt  at 3 months but rarely.

Question 5

babies teeth that are pointing out?

Accepted Answer

Pediatric dentist   : Are you concerned  about the way your babies teeth are coming in?   You did not say how old your baby is.  Sometimes when  the first few teeth erupt it is hard to see how everything will match up and fit together.  If you have concerns about the eruption ppattern of your babies teeth, a pediatric dentist cpan evapedluate the eruption pattern.  First dental appointment should be around first birthd.

Question 6

my infant is 11mts old with no sign of teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Infants can have their first teeth present at birth or as late as 15 months. The later erupting group often get several erupting at one time.It is not an indicator of growth or nutrition problems but a variation of normal. Most have a full set of baby teeth by 3y.

Question 7

on average, after babies' bottom two teeth come in, how long until the top two grow in?

Accepted Answer

This is variable: Teeth eruption is quite variable in normal babies. The average quoted is bottom two by 4-6 mo & 1/mo untill all 20 come in. I have seen the bottom two present at birth or not in untill 15 mo. The top 4 are lined up ready to come down next  but again eruption is variable. Occasionally i see outer upper teeth come down before the center 4.

Question 8

my babies teeth is chipping away and has green coloring on it its painful when she bites what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Probably decay: Your child is in pain because of infected teeth. Take him/her to a Dentist, preferably a Pedodontist (pediatric dental specialist) immediately. The American Dental Association &amp; American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend that all children have 1st Dental appointment at Age 1 just to prevent scenarios such as this. Your Pediatrician or your General Dentist can help you find a Pedodontist.

Question 9

what is the best way to clean my infant's teeth? she's getting her first teeth in, and we don't know what method is best or easiest.

Accepted Answer

Durham,
Gauze : Durham, 
gauze will work for now, but an infant finger brush is best.  Gerber sells one with a tube of non-fluoride baby toothpaste.  Infants tend not to be too happy but don't let that discourage you.   You should also know your finger won't be too enthusiastic either.
Hope this is helpful,

Question 10

is there a specific order for babies teeth to come in? i have seen charts indicating this but my little ones teeth seem to be appearing differently. she has two at the bottom but 5 going on 6 at the top. shes 11months

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Given that we study everything you will find charts &amp; average emergence patterns but that stresses "average". Dental eruption timing and sequence (location) is variable in infants. I'm just happy that I see them eventually. One/mo starting at 4-6m is the average.
