    Seeing as teething babies cry a lot, I wonder how painful this process will be.

      That’s because their teeth are busting through their fleshy gums. Presumably this would be growing out an existing hole.

      Dare ya to search “baby teeth skull”.

      Have you had your wisdom teeth grow? I figure this would be the same. With mine it wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience, but it wasn’t too bad either - and if it’s the same with that new treatment, I’d be willing to take the pain over the alternative of staying toothless when I grow old.

        Are you supposed to be able to feel wisdom teeth growing? Cause when I got mine there wasn’t any pain

          I guess that ideally you don’t feel anything at all, but I’ve heard from a few people that there was some itchiness and irritation, which mirrors my experience, so…

            Fortunately didn’t get any of that. Just accidentally biting my inner cheeks with them as they grew.

      Less painful than looking at yourself every day in the mirror and staring at your with missing teeth…

      Crying isn’t always about pain. Babies can’t talk and don’t have the capacity to realize what’s going on. A lot of their crying can simply be chalked up to the frustration of not being able to communicate, not necessarily from pain.
