Article: When does teething occur?

The normal period for the appearance of the first tooth is between 6 and 9 months. However, just as with everything else, there is dramatic variation in when babies can begin teething. Some start at 3 months, whereas others still show no signs at 10 months. Occasionally, babies are even born with a tooth poking through, although this can cause problems when it comes to breastfeeding.

Babies usually have around 8 teeth which have come through by their first birthday, but again, this can vary. These first teeth are generally followed by the molars, then the canines, and then a second set of molars. Usually, the teething process is complete by around 2 and a half years.
