Teething symptoms and how babies' teeth emerge

Teething symptoms and how babies' teeth emerge

• A babys first teeth (known as milk or deciduous
  teeth) usually develop while the child is growing
  in the womb.
• In most babies, these teeth start to emerge
  through the gums when they are around six months
  old. This process is known as teething.

The teething process

• Most babies start teething at around six months.
  However, all babies are different and the timing
  of teething varies.
• Some babies are born with their first teeth.
  Others start teething before they are four months
  old, and some after 12 months. Early teething
  should not cause a child any problems, unless it
  affects their feeding.

Teething symptoms

• Some teeth grow with no pain or discomfort at
  all. At other times you may notice that the gum
  is sore and red where the tooth is coming
  through, or that one cheek is flushed. Your baby
  may dribble, gnaw and chew a lot, or just be
  fretful. Read our tips on how to help your
  teething baby.
• Some people attribute a wide range of symptoms to
  teething, such as diarrhoea and fever. However,
  there is no research to prove that these other
  symptoms are linked.
• You know your baby best. If their behaviour seems
  unusual, or their symptoms are severe or causing
  you concern, then seek medical advice. You can
  call NHS 111 or contact your GP.
