The whole family teethed when they were born? Viviparous teeth are not "ghosts" at all!

Is it ominous that the baby is born with teeth? There is a folk saying in Taiwan Province Province that newborn teething, commonly known as "ghost tooth" and "magic tooth", will drag down the whole family if it is not pulled out within 10 days! In fact, the formal medical name of newborn teething is "fetal teething", which is a normal phenomenon. Whether it should be removed depends on the doctor's assessment.

Dr. Chen Murong, a doctor of grapefruit parenting clinic, shared an interesting conversation about Facebook. A mother-in-law came to see a doctor with her daughter-in-law and her 7-day-old baby. She argued: "The baby's newborn teeth are called' ghost teeth', which will definitely ruin his parents' family. The only way to solve this problem is to pull out the ghost tooth within 10 days and let his mother swallow it on the spot. Dr. grapefruit couldn't help but answer, "My mother-in-law can only swallow it on the spot to solve the problem", helping her mother out, and stressing that occasionally some children are born with teeth!

"Ghost tooth" is not a disease! This is related to heredity.

Experts say that there are many babies with teeth at birth, but the probability is about one in 2,000 to 3,000, and they usually grow in the lower gums. The reasons are quite diverse. At present, it is believed that it should be related to heredity, and according to the research, 15% babies with live teeth often have similar situations in close relatives.

Viviparous teeth do not represent deciduous teeth. If they really grow up, don't panic, it won't affect the baby's health, and it will definitely affect the personal safety of their families. The only thing to worry about is that most viviparous teeth are irregular in shape and look shaky, so you have to consult a professional doctor whether to deal with them.

Should the viviparous teeth be pulled out? Ask the doctor for protection.

Generally, viviparous teeth grow in the mandible, and two are more than enough. However, there is a case in India where a baby boy was born with seven teeth. Parents are worried that they can't breastfeed for medical treatment. After evaluation, the doctor found that these teeth were loose and wobbly, and if they fell, they might be swallowed by the baby, blocking the trachea or esophagus, causing danger, so he decided to pull out all the teeth.

In England, there was a baby girl named Eva, who also had two teeth when she was born. Although it scared parents at first, there was no risk in the assessment, so it naturally grew. She was just afraid that tooth friction would be bad for her parents, so she switched to feeding with a bottle. This special birthday present also made Eva a lucky star in everyone's eyes.

In fact, viviparous teeth are very rare. If parents find that their children are born with teeth, don't worry too much. Consult your doctor as soon as possible to determine whether there is any risk of falling off or hurting your tongue. If you want to take it out, you can take it out smoothly through local anesthesia of a professional doctor when your baby's coagulation function is normal!
