possible?

So my friend who tends to lie alot tells me that her 6 week old daughter is teething and needs to go to the dentist. And then she goes and tells my other friend that she also has an appointment to get her teeth cleaned. Is that even possible?

My son started teething at 4mths but it didn't properly breakthrough until 6mths. We gave him a teething ring at 4mths but he wasn't really interested for a while just sucked on it. I hear that that's pretty typical. 6wks would be incredibly developmentally advanced.

Might sound crazy but a friend to the family actually bore a bby who already had a tooth coming in so very possible

Some babies can be born with teeth so it's not impossible. My nephew started to teeth at about 6wks and ended up with 2 teeth before he turned two months old. My sister didn't need to take him to the dentist though cause his pediatrician said it was normal.

I just wish she wouldn't Loe about things that obviously aren't true. A 6 week old have to go to the dentist and have a cleaning is a bit ridiculous.  But shes always been like that

Teething rings clearly say for 3months and up. She shouldn't be doing that but hey you can't tell or make anyone change

She could be getting teeth already but I doubt she needs to go to the dentist. My son got his first tooth at about 3 months but it took a few weeks to break through.
