Will teething be painful for my baby

The arrival of your baby's first tooth won't be much fun for either of you. Your baby may be in pain and drool for a month or two before his tooth appears. You could be up at night trying to console him while he waits for a tooth to break through.To ease his suffering, your baby may start biting, but not out of anger or hostility. Give him something to bite on, or rub his gums gently with a clean finger to help soothe the ache (CKS 2009).
Your baby's gums can also become inflamed when he cuts a tooth, which may make his cheeks appear red and swollen (CKS 2009). You may worry that your baby has a fever or diarrhoea when a tooth is about to come through, but teething shouldn't cause illness (CKS 2009). If your baby seems ill, it's more likely he's coming down with a cold, an infection or a tummy bug. Take him to your doctor if you are concerned (CKS 2009).For some babies, teething can be a fairly painless mouth makeover. One week your baby is sporting a toothless grin, and the next a jagged white edge may appear on the gum surface, without causing much upset　Celebrate your baby's first tooth by taking lots of pictures, and note its arrival date in his baby book. Your baby's teeth will sprout one after another. After the arrival of the two bottom front teeth, expect the top two middle teeth, then the teeth along the sides and back. Tooth development is hereditary, so if you got your teeth early, chances are your baby will, too.
