Facebook12 Tweet0 Pin7

The Tooth Eruption Chart is something important that parents should know to analyse if their child is getting their teeth at the right time. Though you need to visit your dentist once every 6 months, this chart will help you get knowledge about your child’s teeth. At this age, even the child is excited to get their permanent teeth. Permanent teeth are the adult teeth which a child starts getting between the ages of 6-7 years. These teeth are not replaceable in the future.

So, it is very important to take good care of the permanent teeth. At the age of 6 years, the child is mature enough to understand that health is important and what is good and bad for them. But as parents or guardians, we must help them understand this.

A child can start brushing his or her teeth on their own, but the best thing to do is to supervise. Another trick is to let them brush their teeth on their own once a day, and you can brush their teeth for them once a day. By doing this, you will be aware of the oral health of the child, and cavities can be prevented.

Here is the tooth eruption chart for the permanent teeth.

Tip For Easy Teething:

The child might have swollen gums in that region. You can give the child hard food to chew on. This will relieve the irritation and the pain in the gums. Always remember to visit a dentist every 6 months, to keep the child’s teeth healthy and oral hygiene good. Here is all you need to know about teething.
