Understanding Tooth Eruption in Babies
By Regency Dental Group
Tooth eruption in babies is an exciting milestone in their development. Most babies start teething around 6 months, though this can vary. The first teeth to appear are typically the lower front teeth, followed by the upper front teeth. This process can be uncomfortable for babies, often causing symptoms like drooling, irritability, and a desire to chew on objects. To help soothe your baby, consider offering teething rings or a cool washcloth to bite on. While every baby is different, the teething process usually continues until the child has a full set of baby teeth by the age of 3.
