1 Most experts think that by 6 years of age, when the second teeth start to come in, is the proper age to treat the habit. 2  We like to see the habit discontinued because it can push the new teeth into poor alignment. 3  Finger sucking encourages the upper teeth to protrude.
Teething is relatively painless for many children. The first tooth can come in anytime between 3 to 15 months, with an average age of 4 to 7 months for most infants. If teething does cause symptoms, it is usually about 4 days before and until 3 days after the tooth comes in. Don't blame serious symptoms, especially a high fever or irritability, on teething. Don't overuse teething gels and teething tablets, since they shouldn't be needed for the average teething child.
