What to Expect When Your Baby Starts Teething
Teething is the process where a baby’s primary (baby) teeth begin to emerge through the gums, often starting as early as 4 to 6 months of age. Most children will have their full set of 20 baby teeth by age 3.
As teeth push through the gums, it’s common for babies to drool more, chew on objects, and show signs of fussiness. While the experience can be uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Recognizing the signs early helps you respond with comfort and care.
