A child is about 3 years old when the last teeth start to emerge.

Most babies do experience some pain as soon as the first teeth start to emerge. A baby might experience the following symptoms:

Brushing teeth of a baby

Milk teeth also need proper care. When your baby starts having its first tooth, it is beneficial to brush at least once a day. This can be done by using special toothpaste made for babies or toddlers. Such toothpaste contains less fluoride and it is therefore not harmful for children when they swallow it. You can also use your finger in case it cannot be done with a toothbrush.
