First Baby Tooth

We have talked about baby teething in All About Baby Teething. But still, this topic is so interesting to be discussed. Baby teething can be a frustrating time for both the parents and the child. The first baby teeth to emerge are usually the two front teeth on the bottom gum, known as the central incisors. Some babies will start teething earlier. The majority of babies will begin to break in their first teeth between 4 to 7 months of age. It all depends on the child and how quickly their bodies will develop. You may find that your child will not break in their first tooth until they are 1 years old or less then 4 months of age.

Baby Teething

Teething is a natural phenomena in growing babies. Generally, baby teething has no pattern on when it will begin, how long it will take, or how painful it can be for babies. Baby teething has a certain hereditary pattern. This means that if both parents experienced early or late teething, there is a big chance that their baby follows the same pattern.

The symptoms of teething actually vary from one baby to another. Below are some of the common symptoms of baby teething:

Baby Drooling

• Drooling

Too much drooling is normal for babies who are three to four months old. This is a strong indication that the baby is already teething.

• Irritability

Once you baby starts to grow teeth, his gums may become too painful and sore, thus, making your baby very irritable and fussy.

• Chin rash

As your baby drools, it goes down to his chin, thus, causing rashes to his skin. You can always wipe your baby’s chin and mouth periodically to avoid skin rashes.

• Cold and fever symptoms

Your baby may feel hot and may have runny nose as well as coughing.

Swollen or inflamed gums – regularly inspect your child’s gums. You should be able to see the actual outline of the teeth before they erupt through the gums. Pay special attention to the lower, middle gums as this is where the first teeth are likely to appear.

Crankiness – if your child’s mood suddenly takes a turn for the worse, inspect his mouth. Of course this change of behavior could be due to something else but there’s no harm in checking.

When teething begins, your baby may have swollen gums or even bruised, where a tooth is about to break through. As the teeth are growing, the cells in the gum tissue above the tooth begin to break down, which helps the tooth slide through. In rare cases, some blood may be spotted when the tooth erupts.

Another symptom of infant teething problems is sleeplessness, as babies have difficulty to sleep due to the pain. Some babies become more fussy and irritable at night, when the lack of other distractions may make the pain more noticeable.

To determine if your baby is teething, ask yourself a few questions. Does she appear to be fussier? Is she crying at night? Does she cling to you? Is she dribbling or drooling in excessive amounts? Is she chewing on her fingers or objects?

Are her gums red, swollen or inflamed? Does she demand more breast or bottle feeding? On the other hand, does she reject breast or bottle feeding because you think the sucking is hurting her gums?

The biggest study, with the greatest power, showed associations with biting behaviour, drooling, gum rubbing, irritability, sucking, wakefulness, reduced appetite, and temperature more than one standard deviation above normal. All associations were significant (P=0.01 or less) and for fever above 38.3°C (P=0.001). Altogether 35% of infants had one or more of these symptoms in the period around tooth eruption in comparison with background rates for symptoms on non-teething days in the range of 6-20%.

Sometimes you can actually see the tooth cutting through the gum, or you may be able to feel it emerging if you run a clean finger along your baby’s gum line. Another good indicator that your baby is teething is that they will want to chew… on anything. It could be toys, fingers or food! This is a completely natural reaction to the changes that are going on within the gum and it is thought that chewing on something hard feels quite soothing.

# Irritability or restlessness
# Discomfort
# Increased night-time awakening
# Appetite decreased

Red swollen gums, lots of drool, a change in sleeping patterns and feeding habits can all signal a tooth before it is visible. Some mums say their baby becomes cranky, runs a temperature, has unexplained diarrhoea or develops a rash around their little mouth.
