Teething is likely to be the first dental issue that parents face after the birth of their child and it could be a source of great anxiety. Parents should keep an eye on the progress of tooth eruption in order to spot potential problems early.
Take action:
A baby’s first tooth can arrive as early as three months, but the average age is seven months. Look out for these signs of teething: drooling; coughing – due to increased saliva; chin or face rash; biting; pain and discomfort; diarrhoea; fever; refusal to feed; irritability; struggling to sleep; and ear pulling.
