teethe

Develop first bicuspids

To teethe is to grow teeth, especially a baby's first teeth cutting through the gums.

The process is often painful and makes infants fussy: The baby's been teething all week.

Teething troubles or teething problems are the early difficulties of any new venture, by analogy to infant discomfort.
