Baby tooth development—I got really confused about this, what should I do?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Tooth development is one of the topics that confuses parents most—it's very normal. First, here's the thing: every baby's teething timeline is unique. While some babies get their first tooth at 4 months, others might not see one until 12 months. Pediatricians usually consider 6–12 months normal and recommend evaluation if there are still no teeth after 12 months.
What signs make you think your baby is teething right now? Irritability, excess drooling, wanting to bite things, and mild fever (below 38°C) can happen, but not all of these are due to teething—for example, fever over 38°C is not from teething but from an infection and needs doctor evaluation.
What you can try for comfort: a cold (not frozen) teething ring, letting your baby chew on a clean, cold piece of cloth, gentle massage to the gums with a clean finger. If your baby is very uncomfortable and it's affecting sleep or feeding, you can talk to your pediatrician about using an age-appropriate pain reliever (acetaminophen/ibuprofen).
