Objective: A broad range of symptoms may
occur concomitantly with teething. However, there is not enough scientific
evidence to suggest that there are any symptoms or signs specific to teething.
The purpose of the present study was to assess the knowledge about teething, to
evaluate the experiences of mothers’ during the teething of their child and
types of practices defined by them to relieve teething symptoms.
Material and Method: The mothers of 1st grade
primary school children of Kırıkkale province were included in the present
study. The data was obtained by a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by
descriptive statistics and Chi-square test; p value <0.05 was considered
statistically significant.
Results: In this cross sectional study, a
total of 307 mothers participated. The majority of the mothers knew that the
first primary teeth erupt at 6-7 months of age (81.1%) and lower central
incisors are the first teeth to erupt (84.3%). Desire to bite (83%), fever
(79.4%), increased salivation (76.2%), loss of appetite (71%), sleep
disturbance (70.3%) and gum irritation (68%) were the most prevalent signs and
symptoms associated with teething as reported by the mothers. To relieve
teething pain, the majority (83.7%) of the mothers’ gave their child systemic
analgesics and 72.3%applied topical analgesics to the gums.
Conclusion: Poor knowledge and misbeliefs
about teething were identified. Educational interventions are needed for the
mothers about teething and solutions to the problems they may face in this
period.

Amaç: Süt dişlenme ile eşzamanlı olarak
birçok semptom ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, dişlenmeye spesifik
herhangi bir semptom veya belirti olduğuna dair yeterli bilimsel kanıt mevcut
değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, annelerin süt dişlenme ile ilgili bilgi düzeyini
ölçmek, çocuklarının diş sürmesi sırasında yaşadıkları deneyimleri ve bunlarla
ilgili uyguladıkları çözümleri değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kırıkkale ili merkezinde
seçilen ilkokullarda 1. sınıfta okuyan çocukların anneleri çalışmaya dahil
edilmiştir. Çalışma verileri anket yardımıyla elde edilmiştir. Veriler
tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve ki-kare testi ile analiz edilmiş, p değeri
<0.05 olduğunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya toplam 307
anne katılmıştır. Annelerin büyük çoğunluğu, süt dişlerinin 6-7 aylıkken
sürmeye başladığını (%81.1) ve ilk olarak alt keser dişlerin sürdüğünü (%84.4)
bilmektedir. Cisimleri ısırma isteği (%83), ateş (%79.4), salivasyon artışı
(%76.2), iştah kaybı (%71), uyku bozukluğu (%70.3) ve dişeti iritasyonunun
(%68) süt dişlenme ile ilişkili olarak en sık görülen belirti ve semptomlar
olduğu anneler tarafından bildirilmiştir. Dişin sürmesi sırasında oluşan
ağrının giderilmesi için, annelerin %83.7’si çocuğuna sistemik analjezikler
verdiğini ve %72.3'ü topikal analjezikleri diş etlerine uyguladığını
belirtmiştir.
Sonuç: Süt dişlenme ile ilgili eksik bilgi
düzeyi ve yanlış inanışlar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Annelere dişlenme hakkında
ve bu dönemde karşılaşabilecekleri problemlere çözüm bulma konusunda eğitim
programlarına ihtiyaç vardır.
