Teeth - development and care• Tooth development• Most babies start teething at

around six months. However, all babies are different and the timing of teething varies. Some babies are born with their first teeth.

Teething• Some teeth grow with no pain or

discomfort at all. At other times you may notice that the gum is sore and red where the tooth is coming through, or that one cheek is flushed. Your baby may dribble, gnaw and chew a lot, or just be fretful. Some people attribute a wide range of symptoms to teething, such as diarrhoea and fever. However, there is no research to prove that these other symptoms are linked. You know your baby best. If their behaviour seems unusual, or their symptoms are severe or causing you concern, then seek medical advice.
