When do babies start teething?

Some babies will already show signs of teething from their third month onward, even though the first tooth does not typically erupt until around six months.

How long does teething last in babies?

Teething in babies and toddlers can last until their third birthday. However, the individual duration will vary from one child to another, and every wave of teething can be different.

How can I tell that my baby is getting his or her first teeth?

If your baby is dribbling more than usual, likes to chew on objects, cries more often or is unsettled, these are typical signs of teething.

How can I tell if my baby is in pain during teething?

Your baby may rub his or her ears more often or like to chew on his or her gums. There may also be a loss of appetite or difficulties with breastfeeding or feeding.

What can help babies cope with teething?

In addition to applying Dentinox Gel care, we also recommend giving your baby plenty of attention and gently massaging the gums. Offer your baby cooling teething rings or cooled soft-boiled foods, such as pieces of carrot or cucumber, as these will help soothe the gums. On top of this, make sure you keep everything clean and hygienic in order to avoid infections.

Why does my baby get a sore bottom during teething?

A sore bottom during teething can be caused by increased salivation and irritation of the skin in the nappy area by the baby’s stool. Clean the skin carefully and use a suitable protective ointment such as Dentinox zinc ointment for nappy rash to alleviate irritations. Consult a paediatrician if the soreness doesn’t improve or gets worse.

Why does my baby get diarrhoea during teething?

Diarrhoea during teething can be caused by increased salivation, which can loosen a baby’s stool. In addition, the increased salivation can also make the stool more acidic. These factors can cause temporary diarrhoea. A balanced diet and adequate fluid intake can help to alleviate the symptoms.

Information

Teething without the pain

Is your baby suffering from teething pain? It is a major step in the development of your baby when his or her first teeth start to erupt, but it is also a big challenge for both of you. This exciting – but sometimes also tiring – period starts between the 6th and 8th month. You may notice that your baby is more restless, whines more, isn’t sleeping as well or has less appetite. This is because the sensitive gums are irritated and painful. This is exactly where Dentinox Gel N teething gel can help.

But it is not just the first teeth that are a challenge, it can also be difficult when the molars erupt. Symptoms like diarrhoea during teething, a sore bottom, skin rash or reddened cheeks can occur. Babies also often suffer from earache during teething.

With Dentinox Gel N teething gel you can help provide targeted relief from teething pain.

This combination makes Dentinox Gel N teething gel the perfect choice for your baby’s sensitive oral cavity.
