Guide to Teething Symptoms and Remedies
  • When will your baby's first pearly white start to
    poke through? Most babies get their first tooth
    at around 6 months, but your child's chompers may
    appear as early as 3 months or as late as 14,
    depending on such factors as when Mom and Dad
    started sprouting teeth and whether or not your
    baby was a preemie (preemies tend to teethe on
    the late side). How babies experience teething
    can vary widely, too. Some have teething
    symptomssuch as excessive drooling and
    crankinessweeks before a tooth actually emerges,
    while others show no signs at all.

Baby-tooth timeline
  • Typically, babies get their teeth in pairs. First
    come the middle two on the bottom. A month or so
    later, the two above those arrive. Still, it's
    not uncommon to see a baby with four bottom and
    no upper teeth, or the reverse. A general timeline

Signs of teething
  • Short of actually seeing a tooth poking through,
    and given that the process is different for every
    baby, some possible symptoms to watch for
  • The need to gnaw
  • The pressure of an emerging tooth beneath the
    gums may be relieved by counterpressure, so
    teething babies often want to chomp on things.
    The chewing instinct may also be a response to
    the odd sensation that something's going on in
    there
  • Puffy gums
  • Before a new tooth erupts, it can cause a red,
    swollen and bruised-looking area on a baby's
    gums. Sometimes the gum bulges with the emerging
    tooth, which you can see faintly beneath the skin
    (if you can convince your baby to open his mouth
    for long enough).

Ways to soothe the pain
  • You may need to try a few methods to see what
    works best for your child
  • A wet, frozen washcloth(leave one end dry so she
    can get a good grip)
  • The thick fabric feels good, and the icy cold
    numbs sore gums. A teething toy that's been
    chilled in the refrigerator also works, but
    frozen toys may be too harsh on an infant's
    sensitive gums
