a months-long jailbreak where 20 bones tunnel out through your gums
means The process by which a baby's first teeth push through the gums, usually marked by drooling, fussiness, and a desperate urge to chew on everything in reach.
from From the verb "teethe," itself drawn from "tooth" — an old Germanic word with deep roots, related to similar terms across many European languages and ultimately tied to the same ancient family as Latin "dens" (tooth) and Greek "odous." The "-ing" simply turns the act of cutting teeth into an ongoing ordeal, which any parent will confirm is the right grammatical choice.
