Teething Troubles and Triumphs
When does teething usually start? Teething is the process where your baby's first teeth, called primary teeth or baby teeth, start to emerge through the gums. This usually begins around the age of 6 months, but it can vary for every child. Some babies may start as early as 3 months, while others might not show any signs until they're closer to 1 year old.
Now that we know the basics, let's explore the signs and symptoms of teething, effective remedies, and how to keep those tiny teeth healthy and strong!
