Teething baby remedies

When do babies start teething?

Some babies begin teething early – as soon as 3 months old. (Very rarely, a baby's first tooth is already visible at birth, known as a natal tooth.) But teething is more common between 4 and 7 months of age.

Baby teething symptoms usually intensify a few days before a tooth comes in, and continue for a couple of days after the tooth breaks through the gum. But teething pain could make your baby fussy for up to a few weeks before a new tooth appears.

When do babies get a first tooth?

Most babies get their first tooth when they're between 6 and 12 months old. Teeth start developing while your baby is in the womb, as tooth buds form in the gums.

But it usually takes several months after birth before a tooth pokes its way to the surface.

Teeth can erupt one at a time, or several can come through at once.

You may have to wait until your child is a year or older to see those first pearly whites.
