Teeth

Bobo got her first tooth around age of 9 months. So far 8 front teeth are in "position", the first molar teeth started coming out in June and July. They are still growing like spring bamboo shoots "coming out of the mud". I have to say her teeth are growing relatively slow. Many same age babies have already got all milk teeth.

Bobo had her first dentist check in last September. Back then she hasn't got any tooth yet, the dentist checked her jaws and gums and confirmed teeth would come at any time. One year after this September, she will have her second dentist check, since I have been concerning about her jaws. She quite often puts her the button jaw more front than the upper jaw. I was told by the doctor, babies at this age upper and bottom jaws should be in same line. Normally adult upper jaw is more front than bottom jaw.

We brush Bobo's teeth everyday, but it is not an easy task. She prefers to bite the tooth brush and suck the water than brushing. We started to use a little bit tooth paste when her molar teeth started to be visible. She seems to like it because of it's sweatiness. However teeth brushing is still a headache task...
