Teething discomfort usually
starts within baby’s first six
months. The pain and discomfort
of teething is something every
baby – and mum – has to endure.
The crying and restlessness, as
well as fever, rashes and upset
tummies, can be worrying, and
may disturb sleep as well as family
life. Fortunately, teething symptoms
soon subside once the tooth is
through. As a mum though, you
will want to do all you can to help
baby through the distress as safely,
gently and effectively as possible.
Your baby will usually feel pain from a few days before a new tooth starts to push through the gums. Once through, the pain and discomfort starts to subside.
Drooling and biting or chewing on hard objects are classic signs that your baby is teething. It will produce lots of saliva which can sometimes irritate the skin around the mouth.
For many babies, the pain seems to be worse at night. Thus, waking at night during teething is common. Earache, diarrhea or a nappy rash can be a problem as well as a slight rise in the body temperature, also known as “teething fever”.
See a doctor though, if
baby’s temperature goes
over 38.5°C, or if baby is suddenly unwell, or vomiting.
Another option is Dentokind®,
which can significantly
reduce symptoms, gently
and effectively.

ease the gum pain.
