Dr. Arnold Malerman answered

Timing of eruption: Can be immediately, but more probably weeks. A cold teething ring can help when baby gets fussy. PLEASE make an appointment with a Pediatric Dental Specialist, a Pedodontist (for all the same reasons you see a Pediatric Medical Specialist, a Pediatrician), for your child's 1st dental examination coincide with 1st birthday. DO NOT wait until 2 or 3 years old.
