Answer 1

or an infant, the mouth is an exquisitely sensitive portal connecting the world around him to his developing mind and body. He uses his mouth to meet his mother, to sate his constant hunger, to comfort himself between feedings, and to explore objects in the widening world around him. When hard teeth begin protruding into this soft, sensitive orifice, it is a major event in the life of an infant.

Many parents worry about the timing of the appearance of their children's teeth. While the average time for the appearance of the first teeth is between five and seven months of age, there is a wide normal variation of timing. The teeth might come in as early as one month of age, or they might wait until a child is almost one-and-a-half-years old. Anywhere in this range can be normal.

Generally lower teeth come in before upper teeth, and generally girls' teeth erupt earlier than those of boys (much like with everything else). Delayed eruption of all teeth may be the result of a nutritional problem, such as rickets, or a systemic condition, such as hypopituitarism or hypothyroidism.

Natal teeth or teeth present at birth are found in about one out of two thousand newborn infants. These are often extra teeth, but this should be confirmed radiographically before any attempt is made to remove them. Natal teeth may cause pain to the infant, poor feeding, and, if the baby is nursing, maternal discomfort. Natal teeth may also cause damage or even amputation of the tip of the newborn's tongue due to strong sucking behavior. Early appearance of all teeth may indicate a hormonal problem such as hyperthyroidism.

Answer 2

Your baby is a little on the early side in teething but that's nothing to be worried about. The average age for getting the first tooth is around six months but babies can vary widely. Some don't get their first tooth until they are around a year old. If a baby has no teeth and is more than a year old, then he or she should be taken to a dentist. That's because the gums might be so tough that they actually have to be cut open in order to allow the teeth to emerge.

Answer 3

My baby is 8 months and has 6 now. She got her first, the bottom middle 2 at 5 months. It may be a blessing in disguise that he already has some and is getting it over with sooner.
Ask your doctor if you can use tylenol or anything else to ease the pain or if he is too young. It has really helped our girl get some sleep.

Answer 4

Every baby is different.Some are even born with some teeth.There is nothing to worry about.Just make sure you have plenty of medicine for the teething pains and something for baby to gnaw on like a teething ring you keep in the fridge.

Answer 5

Its all relative. My baby boy was born with a tooth just under his gum. Some call this a "milk" tooth. They usually have to be extracted soon after birth, within 2 weeks, and are very soft. In general 10 months and older.

Answer 6

My daughter got her two bottom in at 4 months and a mouth full by 12 months. She was a little cranky but a cold wash cloth did the trick.

Answer 7

My son was over a year old when he got his first tooth and his first tooth was his 2 upper teeth. He was 13 months old.

Answer 8

13

Answer 9

It should be around 5 or something like that maybe your baby is big sized next time when he/she grow up. It Is because He/she has a lot of vitamins thats good!
