Look for the baby to start running a fever and develop a stuffy nose and that will indicate his teeth are coming in.

If the baby does not have any teeth come in by next month, the mother needs to bring him back for x-rays.

Tooth eruption is often genetically based, with some families having babies with early tooth eruption, while others have late tooth eruption.

A baby’s first teeth should erupt by 8 to 10 months of age and are the two lower front teeth.
