Cutting new teeth, or teething, can be a very frustrating experience for babies and their parents. Parents hate to know their baby is in pain. In this article we hope to help you so you know what to do when your baby is teething.
Your baby can begin teething as early as 3 months old and the process can continue up to a childs third birthday or beyond. In most cases, when your baby is between the ages of 4 and 7 months, you will notice your child’s first tooth pushing through the gum line.
Typically, the first teeth to appear are the two bottom front teeth. These are the central incisors. Within 4 to 8 weeks, your babys four front upper teeth will begin to push through the gums. These are the central and lateral incisors.
In another month, your babys lower lateral incisors will begin to come in. That is the two teeth on each side of the bottom front teeth. Next will be molars. Your babys back teeth used for grinding food. Last but not least, your babys eyeteeth will start to come in. Thats the pointy teeth in the upper jaw. By your babys third birthday, they will usually have all 20 primary teeth.
