Teething
Basics
Description
Teething is the normal developmental process of primary tooth eruption whereby the tooth moves from its position in the alveolar bone through the mucosa into the mouth. Parents/caregivers, physicians, and dentists often associate many localized and systemic symptoms with the teething process, including mouthing/biting, drooling, changes in appetite, and fever.
