When a family welcomes a new life, every family member is very happy and joyful. Especially the care for infants is meticulous. During the entire growth period of a baby, every change in the baby will attract special attention from family members. So, what are the symptoms of a baby having a ninth tooth?
Normally, the symptoms of teething vary among babies due to their different constitutions. However, for most babies, drooling is a common symptom when they grow their ninth tooth. If a baby has a problem with drooling, parents should pay more attention to helping the baby wipe the saliva from their mouth, as there is a high possibility of allergic reactions to the surrounding skin due to long-term exposure to saliva.
If a baby wants to have new teeth, they may want to chew on things due to itchy gums, or they may have difficulty sleeping due to discomfort in their gums. Some babies may also experience an increase in body temperature.
Generally speaking, babies start to have their first tooth at around seven months old, but due to individual differences in their physical constitution, the timing of the first tooth's appearance also varies. The symptoms that each baby may experience during teething are also different. Although individual physical conditions can lead to different symptoms of teething, overall, there are often recurring symptoms. If the baby experiences these symptoms, parents can pay more attention to whether the baby is starting to grow new teeth.
