There’s no need to worry if your baby’s teeth come in on a different timetable; it can be different for every baby. Most babies start teething between 4 and 7 months old, but some start much later.
Signs and Symptoms
Although not all infants experience the same symptoms, they could include:
- Swollen, tender gums
- Fussiness and crying
- a temperature that is just above normal but not quite 101 F.

- A face rash as a result of their excessive drooling
- Coughing
- pulling their ear or scratching their cheek
- the act of putting one’s hands over one’s mouth
