Teething - Children's Hygiene

This cranky time can be lessened by gently rubbing the gums with a clean finger or damp gaze pad to massage the tender gum tissue. A teething ring is also beneficial. A tip from our hygienist is to let the child chew on a frozen pancake! It is cool and eatable as it thaws. Teething is often blamed for a variety of ills from fever to colds, but there is no data to suggest that these conditions are related to or caused by teething.
