The first teeth in infants

Dentists claim that the germination time of the first teeth depends on a number of factors. It is hereditary and the quality of food, and climatic characteristics of the place of residence, gender (girls first teeth usually appear sooner).

However, there are times when teeth erupt in children and on the first or second month. And some are even born with already protezavimo the molars and incisors.

As a rule, the teeth of kids appear at the age of six months, but sometimes it happens much earlier.

Probably the most famous baby born with teeth was the future king of France Louis XIV, nicknamed the Sun King. Just coming out of the womb, he could already boast two teeth, that court considered a special sign of destiny.

But perhaps the most spectacular case took place in Denmark already in the twentieth century. In 1970 in this country were born kid at once, with eight teeth, four of which were indigenous. It is noteworthy that the birth took place and at eight months pregnant. What influenced such early formation and teething baby, can only assume.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BABY IS TEETHING
