Kids' Dental Issues

What are the symptoms of teething in babies?

Short answer

Common teething symptoms include swollen or tender gums, increased drooling, mild irritability, and a tendency to chew on objects for relief. High fever or severe diarrhea are not typically caused by teething and should be checked separately by a doctor.
