And even though you might not remember this yourself, if you have a child, odds are that you\u2019re going to be helping to guide them through this! But when does this typically take place, and how do you know it\u2019s occurring? Keep reading to learn more from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidsmilesonlincoln.com\/who-we-help.html\">pediatric dentist<\/a> about teething and some of the obvious symptoms that it\u2019s occurring, along with some ways you can alleviate your little one\u2019s discomfort. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Do Children Start Teething?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, your child\u2019s teeth will usually begin making their grand and grumpy entrance at around the 6-month mark. However, it is possible for signs of teething to begin sooner, even by as much as two or three months. Conversely, some infants don\u2019t get their first tooth until around or after their first birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Obvious Signs That Your Little One Is Teething<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every child experiences teething differently, it\u2019s important to know what symptoms to look out for so that you can help them get through this milestone. Here are some of the first signs of teething:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Swollen, tender gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fussiness and crying<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A slightly raised temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gnawing or wanting to chew on hard things<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lots of drool, which can cause a rash on their face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coughing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rubbing their cheek or pulling their ear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in eating or sleeping patterns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Soothe My Child While They\u2019re Teething?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though teething can manifest some pretty uncomfortable symptoms for your child, there are also ways in which you can soothe their discomfort and provide them with respite. Teething toys, for instance, can provide a great deal of relief for your little one\u2014plus, children love to chew! The gumming action of these items provides counter-pressure, which relieves the aching as teeth push up and into the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying something cold to your baby\u2019s inflamed and sore gums can also help relieve the pain of teething, such as a cold compress or a chilled drink. Pain relievers can also be used but be sure that it\u2019s a type that is suitable for younger children and that you\u2019re following the dosing instructions closely. It\u2019s also worth noting that numbing agents and over-the-counter teething gels should not be used to assist children with teething, as they can lead to complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teething can be unpleasant for your little one, but it\u2019s also a part of life and not something that should endanger them. Knowing what signs to look for and how to alleviate their discomfort will ensure that they\u2019re able to get through the process with relative ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Kids\u2019 Smiles on Lincoln, we\u2019re thrilled to offer a wide range of pediatric services focused on improving the health and beauty of your little one\u2019s growing smile.
