My dd is also teething and with her first tooth she was barely sleeping all night and would take catnaps all day. All babies are effected differently by teething..consider yourself lucky that your little one is a good sleeper thorugh all the teething cutting pain! Fussiness is very common in teething so no worries!
Just as MamaMindx said, all babies are different. I've seen lots of children who can't seem to get to sleep while they're teething, and others can take very long naps. Personally speaking, my son usually takes extremely long naps if he feels sick or he is teething. But two days ago he broke the mold of what's normal for him and refused to sleep because his mouth hurt so bad.

when my DD first started teething she never slept....now that she has cut two, and has more on the way..she will actually take a 2 1/2-3 hour nap during the day...
all babies are different though..
my son is 4 months and has been teething since he was 3 months and he sleeps all night and several short naps during the day...i think the gums irritating them plus the constant chewing on things is to much work for them they jus get exhausted.lol have not a clue but my son sleeps more since hes been teething
my 16 month old daughter is cutting her canine teeth and HOLY COW! they are the worst ones, but she still isn't bad. but she has not done 2 naps a day since she was 10 months old and for the last 2 weeks she has been!
Both My babies were extra sleepy, really grumpy, and not into food at all, we found these homeopathic teething tablets that melt under their tongue, and worked awesome, also orajel for nighttime, we used that during the day, teething rings never worked for my kiddos. HTH,. Good luck!
Teething owey...try using a bill dill pickle in the high chair my children would gnaw and bite making the pickle squeak it works great, good luck mom. Remember the first one to find the 1st tooth must buy the baby the 1st real shoes...ole wives tale..lol.
