how long do canines last?

[dalia]

I feel like ds's canines have been coming in for a month. The whole thing is very stressful. Anyone know how long this will last? Going nuts!

Not unusual, sorry. Anbesol is your friend!!  My daughter fought for every one of her teeth, and she teethed from 3 months to 2 1/2.

Our 18 month old's canines are just breaking through now. They started breaking through at christmas, and now are tiny little teeth. Much slower than all her other 12 teeth. And she was showing signs of teething for months beforehand. Like seriously, about 3-4 months of chewing on her hands, drooling, sleep issues, crankiness etc. We would give her camilla and try to get her to chew on her sofie giraff thing. She didn't always like too, but the legs on that thing are much better for older teethers than when she was younger.

These canines are the worst so far. She is getting all four at the same time. The top and bottom on the right about two days ahead of the left side. It was the same with her molars and her top four front teeth.

Now that they have broken through, she seems to be much better, although they are really red and still swollen. She doesn't seem to care.

DD (18 months) has been getting hers for a month.  All four are still coming in.  No end in sight.  The top ones are about the size of a couscous.  I've been worried because we've been alternating Tylenol and Motrin every night for almost a month, but nighttime was AWFUL before the drugging.

I misunderstood the question when I saw it on new posts. I came to say my 12 yo just had hers pulled as they were not coming out by themselves despite the permanent teeth being in.
