Your baby\u2019s paediatrician may monitor the child\u2019s teeth development for signs of decay. Teething is an important stage in every baby\u2019s life, and there are a number of remedies that you can use to provide relief to your baby during this process<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.springvaledental.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Baby-teething-1536x1024_7767f3e87ee7ee45e2c48156f6febcf4.jpg\" alt=\"Baby-teething\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"main-head mt-5\">What is teething?<\/h2>\n<p>Teething is the process through which a baby\u2019s teeth break through the gums. As mentioned earlier, it is a painful process and makes most parents worry. Normally, for most babies, the first teeth erupt between five to nine months. However, signs and symptoms of teething will start a few weeks or months earlier before the first teeth come out. Usually, your baby\u2019s teeth appear in pairs, starting from the lower jaw to the upper jaw.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"main-head\">Signs and symptoms of teething<\/h2>\n<p>Some babies have a smooth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springvaledental.com.au\/blog\/teething\/\">teething process<\/a>. The teeth simply appear with no irritability or discomfort. For others, the process is painful and uncomfortable. Teething symptoms are normally related to jaw and gum discomfort. As the teeth below the surface prepare to break through, a blood blister may be seen over the surface. The larger molars may be more sensitive than other teeth like the incisors because of their larger surface, causing more pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, a teething baby may have the following symptoms. It is important to note that the symptoms are not the same for all babies. Baby teething symptoms include;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"points\">\n<li>Increased drooling<\/li>\n<li>A slight increase in body temperature<\/li>\n<li>Poor appetite<\/li>\n<li>Irritability and fussiness that is not continuous<\/li>\n<li>Restlessness and changes in sleep patterns because of gum discomfort<\/li>\n<li>Swollen and tender gums<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhoea and upset stomach<\/li>\n<li>Mild rash around the mouth because of excess drooling<\/li>\n<li>Chewing and gnawing on hard objects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"main-head\">How to soothe a teething baby<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of ways to soothe a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springvaledental.com.au\/blog\/why-baby-teeth-are-so-important\/\">teething baby<\/a>. Some of them include;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"points\">\n<li>Something cold will help soothe your baby\u2019s gums. Try refrigerating the baby\u2019s toys such a teeth rings for a few minutes or using a clean wet washcloth for your baby to chew on. Chewing can distract your baby from the discomfort she is feeling.<\/li>\n<li>You can massage your baby\u2019s gums gently using your clean finger or a moist gauze pad. Rubbing the baby\u2019s gums gently or allowing her to gnaw on your finger can be soothing.<\/li>\n<li>Teething gels can also help relieve the baby\u2019s pain. Teething gels contain anaesthetic and antiseptic, which work by preventing infection as well as relieving the pain.<\/li>\n<li>A little cuddling and affection may just be what your baby needs. You can try holding and comforting your baby to distract her from the discomfort and pain she is feeling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Teething is a stage in every child\u2019s life. However, if the above symptoms become prolonged and seem concerning, it is important that you contact your doctor.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"main-head\">Springvale Dental Clinic<\/h2>\n<p>Springvale Dental Clinic is a dental facility that provides a wide range of dental care and treatments.
