These first teeth are called primary or baby teeth, and they will eventually begin to be replaced by permanent adult teeth when your child is 6 to 12 years old.
Your baby's first tooth is likely to appear between 4 months and 7 months, maybe even as late as 12 to 14 months.

As soon as the first tooth begins to erupt, you can clean your child's teeth by:
Brush teeth at least 2 times a day, especially after meals Use a clean finger to gently rub baby's gums for about 2 minutes. Do not give your baby milk or juice while sleeping. This can easily damage the enamel of your child's teeth. From the time the baby grows its first tooth and enters the weaning journey, mothers need to pay attention to proper oral hygiene for the child. After finishing each meal, the mother can give the child some water to help them clean their teeth.
In addition, parents should also apply some methods of changing habits and improving nutrition to support the child's teeth to develop better. Parents should supplement their children with supporting products containing lysine, essential micro-minerals and vitamins such as zinc, chromium, selenium, and B vitamins to help fully meet the nutritional needs of children. At the same time, these essential vitamins also support digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, help improve anorexia, and help children eat well.
