Pain and discomfort: One of the most obvious signs of teething is the pain and discomfort your baby feels. The new teeth are poking through their little gums and can cause a painful pressure sensation, which can make your baby irritable.
Increased irritability: Tooth pain can make babies more irritable than usual. If you notice your baby being more fussy or having trouble settling down, it could be due to the dental discomfort.
Excessive drooling: During teething, your baby’s salivary glands are stimulated and produce more saliva. For example, you may notice your baby drooling more than usual…
Biting and sucking: To relieve the pain, your baby may tend to chew and suck on various objects (yes, more than usual!). They may then seek to bite toys, edges of furniture or even their own fingers to soothe their sore gums.
Red and swollen cheeks: Red and swollen cheeks can be a physical sign of teething. Swollen gums can cause this change in baby's appearance.
