One of the most important milestones in children's growth and development is teething. The emergence of their first baby teeth can be both exciting and challenging for both the child and the family. At Dehadent, we guide parents to ensure their children navigate this period healthily and comfortably.

What is the Teething Process?

Teething is the gradual emergence of baby teeth in the mouth. It usually begins around 6 months and continues until 2-3 years of age. During this period, babies' oral structure and habits change.

Symptoms of Teething in Children

• Increased Drooling: Babies may drool constantly.
• Swollen and Red Gums: Mild swelling and redness may occur in the area of ​​the erupting tooth.
• Restlessness and Sleep Disturbances: Babies may experience fussiness, crying, and sleep problems.
• Biting and Sucking: The tendency to bite toys to relieve itchy gums increases. Mild Fever: Some children may experience a mild fever, but a high fever could be a sign of another infection.
• Loss of Appetite: A reluctance to eat may occur, but this shouldn't last long.

Things to Consider During Teething

• Hygiene: Cleaning the gums and mouth should not be neglected. Gently cleaning with a soft cloth or a baby toothbrush is important.
• Teethers: Chilled teethers can be used to relieve itchy gums. However, frozen products should be chosen carefully.
• Diet: Liquid and soft foods should be preferred, and care should be taken to prevent the baby from going hungry.
• Dentist Consultation: In cases of high fever, severe pain, or persistent restlessness, a pediatric dentist should be consulted.
