Teething can be upsetting for babies and their parents alike! We're here to help with a few simple teething tips:
1. Learn to spot signs of teething. Typically around the six-month mark, the first teeth will begin to emerge. A teething baby may show behavioral changes that are actually teething symptoms, such as decreased interest in breastfeeding, excessive drooling, refusal of foods they normally like, difficulty sleeping, or general irritability. They might also become more interested in chewing or sucking on things.
2. Recognize what ISN'T a sign of teething. Sometimes parents misidentify other symptoms as having to do with teething, when it could be an unrelated illness. A runny nose, fever, or diarrhea could be signs of a viral infection. Consult a pediatrician if they get worse.
3. Try different soothing techniques. Continue breastfeeding if possible, and provide something safe to chew on like a teething toy, but be cautious when choosing teething toys. Make sure they do not contain PVC, BPA, or phthalates — all compounds that potentially cause harm if ingested by a child. Some toys can be chilled to provide extra relief, and some can be fastened to the child's clothing.

There’s a good reason dental health professionals warn their patients not to chew ice. This habit can cause serious and permanent damage to teeth and gums, so what makes it so addicting in spite of the dangers?
Compulsive ice eating is called pagophagia. Sometimes it's a symptom of pica, a psychological disorder in which a person feels compelled to eat large quantities of non-food items, such as dirt, clay, hair, or ice. A nutrition gap could be responsible.
Recent studies suggest a link between anemia and compulsive ice eating. The theory is that chewing ice makes up for the lack of iron (which we need to carry oxygen to the brain) by stimulating blood flow to the head. It's an interesting workaround but doesn't address the root cause. Iron supplements would be more effective, without the drawbacks to dental health.
What can ice do to our teeth and gums? The same thing it can do to pavement over repeated freezes and thaws. The problem isn't how hard ice is, but how cold it is. Tooth enamel is very brittle and can easily fracture due to so many dramatic temperature changes from the contact with ice. The gums are also in danger. The ice numbs them, so it's hard to notice if they're getting sliced and damaged.

Many people think the harder they brush, the cleaner their teeth are but that's simply not true! Too much pressure when brushing can negatively impact the enamel and gums so make sure to brush softly.

Minimizing the risk of childhood tooth injuries starts with knowing the most common causes of those injuries. Babies and toddlers are most likely to injure themselves by slipping in the bathtub. Non-slip mats are a great precaution! Projectiles, like balls and frisbees, can easily cause injuries, so make sure to discuss safety and not aiming at anyone's head. Hard playground equipment can also be a hazard so extra care should be taken.
Sometimes accidents happen even when we're being careful, and having an emergency plan is a great way to prepare. Step one of any plan is not to panic. Make a calm assessment of the situation. If an adult tooth is knocked out, try to put it back in the socket. If that isn't possible, store it in cold milk. Either way, get straight to the dentist. That will give us the best chance of replanting the tooth. Make sure not to touch the root, and don't try to clean it or store it in ice.
Healthy teeth are harder to injure, which is one more reason to make good daily oral hygiene habits a big priority. That means daily flossing and twice-daily brushing!
