One of the main questions new moms ask themselves is, when will my baby’s teeth start to erupt? There is no exact answer, it will depend on your baby. For the vast majority of babies, they will start to come out between 6 and 10 months of age.
If your baby’s teething (growth of teeth through the gums) is early, his first tooth may erupt at 3 months.
Your baby's teeth began to develop while he was still in the womb. While you were pregnant, she developed the foundation for what her baby teeth would be, although these were still tucked into her gums.
The first teeth will be the incisors, the lower central incisors will be the first teeth. The upper central incisors erupt when the baby is 8-12 months, later the upper and lower lateral incisors will come.
The first molars usually appear shortly after your first birthday. As mentioned above, it cannot be generalized, since every baby is different. All 20 baby teeth should be in position when the baby is 30 months old, these teeth should not start to fall out until his permanent teeth are ready to be born, around 6 years of age.
Teething symptoms
- If your baby chews or chews hard objects, it is a sign of teething, usually most babies start to chew on everything and it is normal.
- Be very careful that the objects it bites do not remain on the ground to prevent contact with germs and thus avoid any infection.
- Constant drooling, we recommend that you dry his face every time you see him drooling to avoid irritating the skin.
- If your baby begins to act irritable, it is normal since he will probably feel swelling or pain.
- Sensitive and swollen gums Trouble sleeping Rubbing the face and ears
There are some myths about whether teething can cause a fever or diarrhea, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that although a baby's temperature may rise slightly when teeth are coming in, true fever (a temperature 38 degrees Celsius, or 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, or higher) and diarrhea are not normal symptoms of teething.
If your child has a fever and also has poor appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea, call their doctor to rule out the possibility of a more serious illness.
Here are some tips to alleviate the annoying teething stage give him something to chew on, a special teething ring or our teether products.
