what age for first tooth?

[farls]

Im asking what age all you lovely babies got your first tooth? Mark is nearly 9 months and has been teething for what seems like an eternity and still does not have a tooth. you can see them under his gum and he has all the classic signs but still no tooth. the poor little thing sometimes wakes up at night crying and rubbing his gums with his fist. we have tried all the usual remidies and pray every day we se the beginnings of that first little tooth..................

That sounds just like us. I can feel her first tooth, it is poking up, feeling very haard, but the gums hasn't broken yet, although it is clear because of how thin it is. It has been like that for 1.5wks now. I keep hoping every morning / evening that it will have finally broken through. Haven't voted yet (obviously).

If I remember rightly the Doctor thought that it was a little loose and was worried in case it came out and she swallowed it! and I dont think she had a visit from the tooth fairy either

 

[kayzee]

Awww bless her, for the best if she could of swallowed it. I hate the dentists only ever had 1 out put me off for life

Aaron was 6 months when he cut his first. My niece was about 9-10 months though. She's about 15 months now and has 6 teeth. Aaron is 20 months and has 16.

i would like to announce that mark has cut his first tooth
yesterday when we picked him up from nursery mark decided his dads finger would be a lovely to chew and lo and behold you can feel a tiny bit of hard tooth. So my next question is how long does it take tooth to come fully through?

 

[Nicky_Jones]

I have no idea Ellie's first tooth has been like that for the last 4 weeks, and still no sign of it coming through properly. It feels so sharp when you touch it but I don't think it has actually broken the gum yet. I am having my 8 month check up in 1 weeks time, so I will ask the HV then if it still hasn't pushed all the way through.
