It’s not hard to tell when your baby starts teething. He or she may be irritable during the day and sleepless at night. (And you might be too!) Your baby was born with all 20 primary teeth below their gumline. They typically start to come through between 6 and 12 months. Children usually have their full set of baby teeth in place by age 3. During the time of teething you can expect fussiness, Trouble sleeping, Irritability, Loss of appetite, and Drooling more than usual. You should watch out for Fever, Diarrhea, and any kind of Rashes. Your child may have sore or tender gums when teeth begin to erupt. Gently rubbing their gums with a clean finger, a small cool spoon, or a moist gauze pad can be soothing. A pediatric dentist in Wellington may recommend a clean teething ring for your child to chew on. Numbing gels can be useful but The Food and Drug Administration recommends that parents and caregivers not use benzocaine products for children younger than 2, except under the advice and supervision of a health care professional. Benzocaine is an over-the-counter anesthetic, usually under the product names Anbesol, Hurricaine, Orajel, Baby Orajel and Orabase.
