Signs Your Baby Is Teething and What to Do

By Regency Dental Group

When your baby starts teething, you may notice signs like increased drooling, swollen gums, and extra fussiness. The process of tooth eruption can be uncomfortable for babies, but there are ways to help ease their discomfort. Offering a chilled teething ring or gently massaging their gums with a clean finger can provide relief. It’s also normal for babies to want to chew on anything they can get their hands on during this stage. Keep an eye on your baby's teething progress and remember, each child experiences this stage differently, with most babies getting their first tooth between 4 and 7 months.
