Infants typically experience pain as their incisors develop. This can be an uncomfortable time for them and many parents can attest to this. Teething can be difficult for your baby, especially when the largest incisors emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a phase where the more you know, the more you can help them seek comfort. It is critical for children’s early physical, mental, and social development to have new teeth<\/a> free of disease and pain. So let’s start learning about the most painful part of teeth development in children and ways to manage them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is teething?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teething occurs when the baby’s teeth come out of the gum lines. This process makes their teeth hurt and gives them sore gums, leaving them fussier and prone to chewing on things they can get their mouths on.<\/span><\/p>\n

When does the onset of teething occur?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teething can set about as early as three months. Meanwhile, the average age at which the first tooth emerges is between four and seven months. There is a timeline for when the upper, central, and lateral incisors come in. Initially, the lower central incisors come first, followed by the four upper teeth and large molars. Gradually, the remaining bottom lateral incisors appear then the canines follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long does teething pain last?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some think the sprouting of the canine teeth is the most painful of all the stages of tooth development. However, the growth of primary molars is known to be a more difficult time for babies because these are comparably bigger than the rest. Moreover, the growth of a baby’s first incisor is also a very painful time as the pain and discomfort it causes are unfamiliar and new.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Typically, the pain and irritability around a baby’s gum usually last about 8 days. This is the time when the tooth tears through the gums and erupts. As soon as the tooth is out, the pain and discomfort that come with it usually subside.<\/span><\/p>\n
