Delayed Teething

What You Need To Know


Do not worry if the kid has not yet cut yet a tooth by her/his first birthday.. it is perfectly normal...


Some Teething Facts..• teething is relatively painless for many children..
• the first tooth can come in anytime between 3 to 15 months, with an average age of 4 to 7 months for most infants.
• if teething does cause symptoms, it is usually about 4 days before and until 3 days after the tooth comes in..
• don't blame serious symptoms, especially a high fever or irritability, on teething
