Ever since he was like 2 months old, we thought he was drooling so much because he was about to get teeth, but none yet! Lately he's been grabbing at his ears a lot too (no other signs of eat infection or anything like that) which the ped said could also be a sign of teething but... nothing. Older brother got his first teeth by 7 months or so. Anyone experienced teeth coming in on the late side? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shark-teeth#post-2924460 Thu, 29 Jul 2021 14:28:30 +0000 agold 2924460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 5 year old just lost both bottom front teeth on the same day. She already has the two big girl teeth about a quarter of the way in. So she had shark teeth going on for a little bit. Now, the baby teeth are out and the two new teeth are coming in set back behind the rest of the teeth. Did this happen with anyone else's kid? Our routine dentist appointment isn't for another 3.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-year-molars-here-yet#post-2241302 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 20:45:00 +0000 mrbee 2241302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Been reading up on these lately:</p> <p>&lt;&lt; The first permanent molars usually erupt<br /> between ages 6 and 7 years. For that reason, they<br /> often are called the “six-year molars.” They are<br /> among the “extra” permanent teeth in that they<br /> don’t replace an existing primary tooth. These<br /> important teeth sometimes are mistaken for primary<br /> teeth. However, they are permanent and must<br /> be cared for properly if they are to last throughout<br /> the child’s lifetime. The six-year molars also help<br /> determine the shape of the lower face and affect the<br /> position and health of other permanent teeth. &gt;&gt;</p> <p><a href="http://www.ada.org/~/media/ADA/Publications/Files/patient_58.ashx" rel="nofollow">http://www.ada.org/~/media/ADA/Publications/Files/patient_58.ashx</a></p> <p>If your kids are older, do they have their 6 year molars yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-first-tooth#post-2913391 Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:30:20 +0000 Alba4 2913391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your kids lose their first tooth?

But, that was 5 years ago and with DS, we haven't even once. It has been ibuprofen pretty much exclusively.

She usually hardly cries but she's just been fussy and crying and wanting to be held alot only by me. My SIL mentioned something about teething tablets that are chalky like and have no flavor and how those helped her children but I don't know what those are and she couldn't quite remember them to give me enough info about it.

Her current preferred teether is her own hand (which is generally unsatisfactory after a few nibbles) or my knuckle (which is gross from a germs perspective, and kind of hurts!) we do have a Sophie teether (with the loops) which she plays with, and one of Sophie's friends (which is too thick in most parts to fit in DD's mouth). The makers of the Egg claim the shape makes it chew-able in even small mouths, and I'm wondering if it might provide more resistance to her bite (similar to, um, finger bones)....yet I'm reluctant to shell out $20 plus shipping on a whim sight unseen. 😊</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any reviews! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-lose-their-1st-tooth#post-2722116 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 06:30:19 +0000 lamariniere 2722116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO is old enough to lose teeth, how old were they when the first one came out (not counting accidents)?</p> <p>My son is 6 and still has all of his teeth, and nothing is loose!

I haven't given him any Tylenol or Advil because I'm just not sure whether he needs it--during the day he seems totally fine, same cheerful baby, same good eating/napping habits. His daycare lady thinks he has more teeth coming through (so far we just have the bottom center) but I'm not sure. </p> <p>So, wondering what you did to navigate teething--did you give preemptive painkillers, re-train after you thought teething was over, never give in to all the night feedings in the first place? I've done some googling and the only consensus I can find is "it sucked but we got through it"--but how?? </p> <p>@shopaholic: I found an old thread of yours, did you end up re-training? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-teeth-were-the-worst#post-2694669 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 14:02:00 +0000 winniebee 2694669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember many teeth being bad for DS2.

Until I'm guessing these very last set of 2 year molars! I didn't even know they're not out yet. </p> <p>She started having a low grade fever Fri night, so I just thought she was coming up with something. By Sat mid-day, she was refusing to eat, really cranky, etc and told me her teeth hurt. Sat night sleep was a mess; woke up every hour crying and crying. Meds aren't doing much. Sunday pretty much refused to eat/drink, cranky/crying all day. I don't think I've ever seen her this upset, not even with coxsackie! </p> <p>We finally got her to drink from a cup (she drank from a straw which hurt more then refused all drinks). Still couldn't get her to eat. We're on I think day 3 of this now, so I'm hoping it will pass soon.. Her mood is slightly better today. Please Lord let her be better!! </p> <p>This is just totally out of the blue.
