Hiya...most babies normally start to teeth around six month.But all babies r different,it's a tough1 teethin!
Is his gum swollen or red atall? Is his cheek a little flushed? These are normally signs of teethin-if not u av 2remember that babies use their mouths 2explore alot so thats why they dribble.

My son started teething at 10 weeks - but didnt cut a tooth until 6 months.
Get some bongela and rub it on the gums and also some ashton and parsons powders as lots of mums swear by them! Also lots of teething toys. I also found a flannel soaked in cold water, or wetted and put in the fridge and then giving it to little one to chew was a god send.

My eldest daughter cut her first 2 teeth at 4 months. It is possible to teeth that early. There are other things that can cause dribbling too such as reflux there is an article on it here:

Boots also do a teething powder. I used it with Ben, especially when he stopped eating. Ben seemed to be teething for ages before he actually got teeth! Good luck x
