Teething Troubles

Not every child experiences teething problems. The best solution would be to give her something to chew. If the pain becomes unbearable consult a doctor.

Is teething painful for all children

The symptoms of teething often precede the first tooth by as much as two or three months. These symptoms differ from child to child. For some children the teething experience can be painful, while for others it can be a breeze. 
 

How can I help my baby get through the ordeal of teething

Give your baby something to chew on. This eases the pressure on the gums and if it is something cold it provides more relief, e.g. a frozen banana, an ice cube wrapped in a clean cloth, a rubber teething toy. You can also rub your baby's gums with your finger. Give her something cold to drink. This will not only relieve the pain but replace the fluids lost through excessive drooling. If the pain is bad, give her some medication after consulting your doctor.

the teething order in this article is the "typical" order, but by no means does every child's teeth appear in the same order. the article is incorrect in the statement that this is always the order they appear.

this is really very informative. i just have one querry. at what age should a child start brushing?o query posted by meenkashi in india. you should start "brushing" you child's teeth even before she gets them. this means just keep the gums clean. it really helps if children are not given any kind of candy before the age of 2 or 2.5. 1. it develops good eating habits, 2. it prevents cavities in gums etc which can be very painful for the child & 3. it prevents cavities in the existing teeth. also avoid all sweetened drinks & juices. juices with natural sugars are best. and milk should be given unsweetened too. and make sure every time your baby drinks milk or juice, give her a drink of water immediately after that or clean her teeth/gums promptly. never allow her to sleep with a bottle of milk or juice. instead give her a bottle of plain water if she absolutely needs one. until she cuts her teeth, clean her gums with a clean, soft wet cloth wrapped around your finger. this will also make her ready for the actual brushing of teeth. once she starts cutting teeth buy an age appropriate brush & toothpaste and introduce brushing as a fun activity.
