Can teething cause night wakings?

My baby is teething and wakes up almost every night. Can teething cause night wakings?

Yes, teething can cause night awakenings. Also developmental changes as infant grows older and is learning new things such as crawling, rolling over, can cause awakenings.
Yes, the awakening could be due to hunger because painful gums make eating more difficult. Or it may be from the discomfort itself.
