Question about my baby getting his first tooth.

Question

My son is almost 6.5 months and I just saw that his first tooth cut through the gum last night. It is his bottom front tooth on his right side. Once the tooth has cut through the gum is your child still in as much pain from the teething or is this relief? Also, how long does it usually take for the whole tooth to come through? Thanks for the answers this is my first baby and and his first tooth...I was so excited!

Answer 1

first of all congrats, it usually take a couple of months for it to fully come in.

Answer 2

After the teeth cut through it isn't as painful.

How long until the tooth comes all the way through? It varies by child. My daughters came in rather quickly after cutting through.

Answer 3

Congratultions, i know how excited you are!

It gets a little better. I bought little toother toys that are just a special like rubber thing with water in them that the babe bites, and it helps.

All babies are different some come in fast, some slower but it does get easier as the baby gets used to them.  

Answer 4

i have two children and my daughter is cutting her first tooth right now. the bottom teeth usually come in together so the next one should be very soon to follow within a matter of weeks he will have several. The swelling of the gums causes a lot of pain and sometimes high fever. ibuprofen is best for swelling talk to your doctor about his dose and give him that and a cold washcloth to chew on he will feel better. it will take a few weeks for them to come in all the way. the swelling will go down very soon though and he will be fine.

Answer 5

Hi,

The normal time for the first teeth to come in is between 18 to 24 months. Initially gum tooth will appear. Regular teeth will come only after 2 years

Answer 6

once my girls teeth popped, they came up really fasy, within a week or so. since she hasnt had much pain with teething at all i cant say about the pain but id imagine, the sorest part would be cutting through the gum.
