Teething...What Every Mother Can Expect! | PRLog

 

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 08, 2011 – When will my baby start teething so I’m prepared, questions many new mothers?  Most babies usually start the teething process between four and seven months says Marietta dentist.  Early bloomers can see a tooth appear as early as three months and for late bloomers, it’s nearly a year.  In rare cases, a child is born with a tooth already erupted.  Teeth start developing while the fetus is still in the womb as small tooth buds sitting right below the gums.  After the child is born, it takes many months for all baby teeth to come in, which can unfortunately be very uncomfortable for the child.  In most cases, the first two teeth appear in the front on the bottom, then the front two on the top usually come in.  The rest will follow, but not in any specific order.  Don’t stress if they aren’t coming in honest because these are their first set of teeth that ultimately the child will lose.  The last teeth to appear are the back molars.  Most children have molars and all twenty baby teeth by the age of three.  The child usually keeps their baby teeth until around the age of six, where the stable teeth start pushing through.  The second set of teeth called “stable” are the teeth they will keep life long.

Here are some symptoms of teething;

1.  Sleep problems

2.  Biting or nibbling on anything they can get their small hands on.
