Is it possible to teeth at 7 weeks?

Question

My son has been drooling quite a bit lately....has been for the past week or so. I know teeth don't come in for months after the drooling begins, but it still seems quite early. Do babies sometimes drool for no reason at all?

Answer 1

When will my baby start getting teeth?
The vast majority of babies sprout their first teeth when they're between 4 and 7 months of age. An early developer may get his first white cap as early as 3 months, while a late bloomer may have to wait until he's a year old or more. (In rare cases, a baby's first tooth is already visible at birth.) Whenever the first tooth makes its appearance, celebrate the milestone by taking pictures and noting the date in your child's baby book.

Teeth actually start developing while your baby's in the womb, when tooth buds form in the gums. Teeth break through one at a time over a period of months, and often — but not always — in this order: First the bottom two middle teeth, then the top two middle ones, then the ones along the sides and back. They may not all come in straight, but don't worry — they usually straighten out over time.

The last teeth to appear (the second molars, found in the very back of the mouth on the top and bottom) have usually begun coming into place by your baby's second birthday. By age 3, your child should have a full set of 20 baby teeth, which shouldn't fall out until his permanent teeth are ready to start coming in, around age 6.

What teething symptoms will my baby experience?
Experts disagree about whether teething actually causes symptoms — like fussiness, diarrhea, and fever — or whether these common symptoms are not related to teething at all and just coincidentally appear at the same time as emerging teeth. Regardless, many parents maintain that their teething babies do experience discomfort (though some babies get through the process with no problems at all). The symptoms most likely to trouble a teether include:
• Drooling (which can lead to a facial rash)

• Gum swelling and sensitivity

• Irritability or fussiness

• Biting behavior

• Refusing food

• Sleep problems

Answer 2

My first daughter started drooling and sucking/biting on her hands at 2 months old but didn't get her first tooth until she was 6 1/2 months old.

However, it is possible. My second daughter actually cut her first tooth at 11 weeks but in about a week and a half the tooth had gone back under the gums. Don't know how or why that happened, but that just goes to show you how unpredictable babies can be!

Answer 3

My son didn't start to drool until a few weeks before he had a tooth.
My mother told me I had my first tooth at 6 weeks, it shocked the nurses and doctors-but it's true!

Answer 4

It is possible but babies drool alot anyway. Hard to tell.

Answer 5

I would say it is possible for him to be teething. My youngest daughter shocked her pediatrician when at 2 months of age the doctor opened her mouth and saw a tooth getting ready to poke through.

Answer 6

its very possible.. my daughter teethed early. she had 2 bottom teeth at 4 months. she just turned 8 months and already has 6 teeth.2 up top and 4 on bottom.

Answer 7

I was told that some babies are born with teeth, and some do not get them until after their first birthdays. It is not the norm, but he could be teething.

Answer 9

Answer 10
