Erupting Baby Teeth (teething)

Since the eruption of primary baby teeth is a normal and natural process, these signs and symptoms are to be expected:

Increased salivation
Putting fingers and hands into the mouth
Restlessness
Fretful behavior

Children may display other symptoms such as fever and systemic disturbances, such as croup, diarrhea, etc. These are coincidental to eruption and should be treated as needed medically by the pediatrician as necessary.

If you have any questions or need more information, don't hesitate to call your Smile Secrets Team at 206.935.5522.
