New tooth ..questions

[1st_baby]

So max is cutting his first tooth , I can feel it on his gums but just a tiny bit ..if i look hes got a line so i guess thats the tooth cutting through ..

So my question is how long till it fully comes out ? and can I help him at all ..like with a toy or something ?

Should I brush that one tooth once its out ?

Is it sharp?

 

[1st_baby]

Not sharp to the point where it will cut me but I can sure feel something rough poking out

Sounds like it should be with you in a couple of weeks!

hey :wave: sounds like when we found ewans first tooth (at 8 weeks old) and it broke through in a couple of days his second tooth broke through last week and hes only 4 months! hes gonna have a full set by the time hes one lol

Good Luck

was also meant to say when ewan was cutting his first tooth he hated teething toys so just chewed his bib? so not sure what to advise x

Thanks ..see I dont see any white except for under the skin of his gums but theres a cut where the tooth should be and you can feel it ..I tried to look carefully but he drools loads and drowns my vision lol

lol yeah i get covered in drool too! yeah thats how we seen it as a small faint white line with a small cut in the gum, then all of a sudden in a couple of days the tooth was poking right out.

sending tooth vibes to max go max go!!

oh and also my dentist told me to start brushing as soon as the first tooth is out

I'm sure it will be through soon, yep a teething ring will help... i wouldn't brush straight away as his gums will be sore give it a few days, anyway at first you won't be able to see it just feel the sharpness x

Thank you lol he was actually on the floor playing with chip our poodle and chip brought him a small plastic teething bone that we got him when he was a pup lol needless to say max loved it lol (I washed it first lol)

It's about 3-4 weeks to fully grow. I've been brushing Josh's gums/teeth for a while (even before he had teeth) twice a day, in the morning after breakfast and before bed.
