Infant development experts say that teething usually starts when your baby is around four months old, and continues until he or she is about two years old, at which time you get a reprieve until about five years old when the baby teeth start being replaced by grown-up teeth.
Teething is the process by which an infant 's first teeth (the deciduous teeth, often called baby teeth or milk teeth) sequentially appear by emerging through the gums, typically arriving in pairs. Teething may start as early as six months or as late as eight months.The first 10 teeth typically appear between six and nine months. It can take several years for all 20 teeth to complete the tooth eruption.hilst there is some evidence that teething can cause an elevated temperature, it does not cause fever (temperature over 100â101 Â°F (37.8â38.3 Â°C). One small 1992 study found a significant rise in temperature on the day of eruption of the first tooth.
