Teething
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Teething is the natural process by which teeth emerge through the gum, especially noticeable in babies and young children when the first baby teeth appear.
Common signs: During this process, swollen or sensitive gums, increased drooling, a desire to bite objects, and restlessness or irritability in the child may be observed.
When to consult? It is advisable to seek guidance if there is marked discomfort, high fever, prolonged refusal of food, or questions about the pace at which the teeth are coming in, since not all discomfort is explained by teething alone.
Which specialist treats it? The dentist and the pediatric dentist accompany dental development, and the pediatrician assesses the child's overall health. Seeing one of them helps resolve questions and care for oral health from infancy.
