ESSENTIAL TEETHING FACTS AND TIPS FOR PARENTS
FOR DR.ROZE BIOHEALTH CLINICS | 19.02.2024
Teething can be a challenging phase for both parents and babies, marked by discomfort and irritability. Here are some key facts and tips compiled by our pediatric dentists to guide you through this developmental stage:
Teeth can emerge between 3 to 24 months of age. Typically, the two bottom front teeth break through first, followed by the top two front teeth. Teething pain may occur even before the visible emergence of a tooth, due to the pressure of the tooth pushing against the gum in preparation for eruption.
How do you know your baby is teething, most common signs :
- Drooling
- Ear pulling
- Putting things in their mouth
- Irritability
- Biting
- Rubbing at their face
- Puffy gums
- Decrease in appetite
- Tender, sore gums
- Low-grade fever
- Crying more than normal
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fussiness
- Breast milk may help ease the pain. The properties in breastmilk can actually help your little one feel better. Also, you will notice you baby might want to nurse more since it is so soothing them to. If your baby is latched properly then no biting should be able to occur. Tip : you can make breastmilk popsicle !!
- Massaging sore gums can help. Take your clean finger and just massage the area gentle. A cool washcloth or even a frozen washcloth can feel wonderful on your baby’s irritated gums
- Offer Chilled Food – Many babies don’t want to eat much while they’re teething, and since cold feels good on swollen gums, chilled food may help. Be sure to choose only healthy foods, such as soft frozen fruits if your baby is already eating solid food.
- Babies need to bite or chew to cut teeth. Having a teething toy or wearing a teething necklace will help your little one get through the teething process. Little Teether offers trendy fun teething toys and stylish teething necklaces. Place a baby toothbrush in the fridge and let them bite on it while it’s cold, it will help a lot!
- Natural remedies : arnica, diluted clove oil or diluted camomille oil to massage on the gum
