does the pain from teething come before or after the tooth breaks through the gum?

i just looked in my DS mouth and he has his first tooth - the top is already through the gums!  I had no idea!  he hasn't been fussy at all - do they usually fuss when the tooth breaks through the gums or is it at some other time?  i thought it was before it broke through - so maybe i lucked out?

    Usually it's before the tooth breaks through. And it can last up to 4 months before it breaks through.

    DS only has two teeth - so we're no experts - but he seems to have the most trouble when they are breaking through....

    here's hoping the rest of your LO's come in just as easy!

    eddie has been sleepless and cranky for three nights now. the tooth has broken through the skin, but he's still in pain.

    Oooh! Lucky you! DS has a tooth we can see just under his gums. He was super fussy for a day and the next morning I noticed a little white spot under his gums. It's been a few weeks though and he hasn't fussed any more but the tooth hasn't come up any further either.
