Pedodontics

Overview

Because calcium in the mother's body during pregnancy allows the creation of milk teeth, the mother should ensure that she gets adequate calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals during pregnancy. If the mother does not acquire enough calcium during pregnancy, the baby gets the calcium it needs from the mother's bones. Because the baby's teeth begin to grow in the third month, the mother's avoidance of dangerous medicines as well as a balanced diet is directly proportionate to the baby's oral health during this period.

Although the first teeth vary from infant to baby, they are often seen as two teeth in the middle of the lower jaw about 6 months of age. Teeth that erupt later are more robust/resistant than teeth that erupt early because the body continues to utilise fluoride. When compared to other teeth, central teeth (central incisors) are smaller, whiter, and more spaced.
