What are the Stages of Teething in Babies?

Teething in babies usually starts between 6 and 10 months of age, but every baby is different and this process can vary according to individual differences. In some babies, teething may start earlier, while in others it may start later. Teething usually starts with the lower two incisors. Then the upper two incisors erupt. Teething in babies can be different for each child, so parents should be patient and help reassure the baby.

Teething in babies can bring some challenges for both the baby and the family. Every family is different and every baby's teething process can be different. Family members can get through this period more easily by learning to support each other and be flexible.

How Teething Happens in Babies

Teething in babies usually starts with symptoms, which may include excessive spitting up, restlessness, clenching, swollen gums, redness, mild fever, and increased nighttime sleepiness. Teething can often cause mild discomfort, irritation and pain in babies. 

Allowing the baby to bite down on something hard and to consume cold or slightly chilled foods and drinks during this period can be comforting. Teething gels or chilled teethers can also be used, but it is important to talk to a dental professional before using such products.

What is the Teething Sequence in Babies?

Teething in babies usually happens in a specific order. The typical teething sequence is as follows:

Lower Two Incisors: Teething in babies usually begins with the lower two incisors. These teeth usually rise and erupt from below the gum surface and become visible.

Upper Two Incisors: After the lower two incisors, it is usually the turn of the upper two incisors. These teeth erupt from the gum surface like the lower ones.

Side teeth (canines): The upper and lower lateral teeth (canines) erupt in turn. These are the teeth next to the incisors.

First molars: After the lateral teeth, the upper and lower first molars erupt. These teeth usually cover a larger area.

Second molars: Finally, the upper and lower second molars erupt. These teeth usually mark the end of the tooth row.
