Teeth develop from the ectoderm (enamel) and the mesoderm (pulp and dentin) beginning about 28 days after conception. This article reviews the development and eruption of teeth and considers the literature regarding teething. And so, even today, debate continues in the medical literature about the association with teething of specific symptoms, such as fever. (See "5,000 years of misery: A history of teething lore," page 79 "Folk cures for teething," page 83 and "Let the tooth fairy live," page 84.) Unfortunately, despite extensive discussion of teething, very little evidence-based medical information is available.
Since Adam and Eve-or, more precisely, Cain and Abel-infants have been teething, and for almost as long, teething has been surrounded by a wealth of folklore and medical opinion.
So, what do we know, and how can we best advise parents? Includes a Guide for Parents. Teething has long been the subject of superstition, speculation, and opinion, but little research.
