Teething in Babies

The development of baby teeth starts when the baby is in the womb. So, around 6 months of age, these teeth are ready to erupt in the mouth. Baby teeth tend to stay in the mouth until the permanent ones are ready to develop.

These baby teeth help the kid to learn to chew, speak, and get familiar with filling the space until permanent teeth take over.
