It marks the emergence of those tiny pearly whites that will later help with chewing, speaking, and smiling. Most babies begin teething between 4 to 7 months of age, but it&#8217;s perfectly normal if it starts a bit earlier or later. The lower central incisors usually come in first, followed by the upper front teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process can be uncomfortable for your little one, as the pressure from teeth pushing through the gums can cause inflammation and soreness. However, the degree of discomfort varies\u2014some babies barely show signs of teething, while others may be noticeably fussy or restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#Common_Signs_of_Teething_Include\" >Common Signs of Teething Include:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#Is_It_Teething_or_Is_Your_Baby_Sick\" >Is It Teething or Is Your Baby Sick?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#Watch_Out_for_These_Symptoms_of_Illness\" >Watch Out for These Symptoms of Illness:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#Key_Differences_at_a_Glance\" >Key Differences at a Glance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#When_to_See_the_Pediatrician\" >When to See the Pediatrician<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#Soothing_a_Teething_Baby\" >Soothing a Teething Baby<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/pediatricnewbornclinic.com\/blog\/is-it-teething-or-is-your-baby-sick\/#Final_Thoughts\" >Final Thoughts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Signs_of_Teething_Include\"><\/span><strong>Common Signs of Teething Include:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Drooling:<\/strong> You may notice more saliva than usual.
