The movement of new teeth in the jawbone and as they push through the gum can cause some discomfort, although this should stop as soon as the tooth appears. Some babies may have a hard time with the emergence of each tooth, whereas others sail through the experience.

Symptoms of teething include:

pain
swollen gums
red, hot cheeks
excessive dribbling
nappy rash
changes to sleep pattern
and/or appetite increased tendency to chew objects
general irritability
