What is teething?

Teething refers to the process of a baby’s milk teeth, also known as primary teeth, breaking through the gums.

These teeth play a crucial role in eating, speech development, and jaw alignment. Most children will have 20 milk teeth by the age of 2 or 3, which later make way for permanent adult teeth as they grow older. Some babies experience pain when teething, while other babies' teeth may emerge with no obvious discomfort at all.

When do babies start teething?

Teething typically begins around 6 months of age, although it can start as early as 3 months or as late as 12 months.
