At different stages of pregnancy, fetal development has its own characteristics. As the gestational age increases, fetal development will gradually improve. Pregnant women are more concerned about the development of the fetus. Once any abnormalities occur in the fetus, pregnant women will pay special attention. So, when does the fetus grow a tooth germ?
The fetus begins to develop tooth buds around six weeks old, and as the fetus continues to develop, the tooth buds will gradually complete their growth. The growth and development of each fetus is different. Generally, teeth will appear six months after going out. Some fetuses may have teeth appearing earlier, around four months, while others may have to wait for ten months before coming out.
When a baby teethes, it is mostly natural and usually accompanied by symptoms such as local redness and itching. There may also be drooling or bubbling in the mouth, which usually subsides after teething. Parents should pay attention to the addition of complementary foods for their babies. They can add semi-solid foods appropriately to alleviate gum discomfort, such as grinding cookies, which are a good choice.
The eruption of baby teeth requires supplementation with substances such as calcium and vitamin D in order to promote better tooth growth, improve delayed tooth eruption, and address issues such as poor enamel development. If a baby's teeth do not sprout for a long time, it is important to go to the hospital for examination. The speed of tooth eruption is also related to the development of the embryonic stage.
