First signs of teething

Some teeth may be more sensitive than others when they erupt. As signs of teething, sometimes a fluid-filled area similar to a “blood blister” may be seen over the erupting tooth.
The following is the general order of eruption of primary teeth: Central incisors: 6-12 months of age, Lateral incisors: 9-16 months of age, Canine teeth: 16-23 months of age, First molars: 13-19 months of age, Second molars: 22-24 months of age.
How do you know when your child is teething? First, he or she is somewhere between three months and a year old and doesn’t yet have teeth, right? There may be a runny nose, the mechanics of which escape me, but if you’ve ever eaten a hot chili, you know that your mouth floods with saliva, your eyes tear up and your nose starts to run.
