Good day.. i have twin prem baby girls, 3 and half months old. can they start teething so young ? signs are itchy gums, spit bubbles, drooling,chewing

Teething ???: A babies lips and oral cavity are lined with pleasure sensing nerve endings that help promote interest in feeding. It is a survival feature. I would not assume that their chewing/mouthing of objects means anything more. Little babies drool because they have no social conscience that drives them to hold it in.

Congratulations: That's very early be teething, but not anomalously so. Try giving them chilled teething ring for comfort. Call your Pediatrician or a Pediatric Dental Specialist, a Pedodontist, to see if an office visit is appropriate. And remember, 1st Dental Examination should coincide with 1st birthday.
