Myths and misconceptions continue about signs and symptoms of teething such as beliefs by both mothers and health workers relating fever and diarrhea to teething. While some investigators believe teething is associated with local irritation and a whole host of other symptoms, others disagree. A variety of physical disturbances have historically been associated to teething like pain, inflammation of the mucous membrane overlying the tooth, irritability, disturbed sleep, facial flushing, drooling, gum irritation, bowel upset, loss of appetite, and ear rubbing on the side of the erupting tooth. Parents‟ false beliefs about signs and symptoms  associated with teething may interfere with the prompt diagnosis and management of serious illnesses. Medical professionals can join hands to educate mothers about their role in improving their children‟s oral health during antenatal checkups and immunization visits. This study was done to review the literature on myths and beliefs on teething in infants.
