Babies start teething with drooling that begins around 4 months of age. Tooth eruption follows, usually starting around 6 mos of age and will continue intermittently through the next years, with the incisors, then 1 yr molars, 2 yr molars, and 4 yr molars. Usually, only the first 2 years of life are problematic with pain and other symptoms not unusual.
