Common Teething Signs
You may notice increased drooling, gum swelling, irritability, trouble sleeping, or a mild rash around the mouth. These are all normal symptoms as those tiny teeth start pushing through.

It’s never too early to start your child on the path to a healthy smile! Seeing the dentist from a young age helps your little one feel comfortable during appointments, encourages positive dental habits, and allows us to catch issues early before they become bigger problems. At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, we specialize in gentle, personalized care for infants and toddlers—always with a warm, compassionate approach.

It may feel early, but your baby’s first dental visit is an important milestone! The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends bringing your child to the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting—whichever comes first.
At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, we make those first visits easy and stress-free with a gentle “lap exam.” You’ll hold your child in your lap while Dr. Alex or one of our experienced pediatric dentists carefully examines their teeth, gums, and oral development. We’ll walk you through everything, answer your questions, and share helpful tips for teething, brushing, feeding habits, and more. Early care builds a healthy foundation for your child’s future smile!
Most babies start teething around 6 months old, but every child is different—some may begin a little earlier or later. Understanding what to expect and how to comfort your little one can make this stage easier for both of you.

Try gently rubbing your baby’s gums with a clean finger, a cold spoon, or a soft washcloth to ease discomfort. Teething rings made from soft silicone are also a great way for your baby to apply pressure and find relief.
