Why do we barely notice the eruption of some teeth and for others there is terrible teething pain?

Dr. Steven Green - Holistic Family Dentistry

Children respond with great differences during the eruption of teeth. Mary Bove, N.D. notes that teething is often accompanied by symptoms of dribbling, chewing on fingers and objects, red swollen gums, fretfulness, irritability, clinginess, sleep disturbances, facial rash, lack of appetite and bowel changes.
