Teething
When an infant is teething it is common for their gums to be sore and tender which may cause irritability. Rubbing sore gums gently with a clean finger, the back of a cold spoon or a cold, wet cloth helps soothe the gums. Teething rings work well, but avoid teething biscuits-they contain sugar that isn’t good for baby teeth.
Tooth Ache
Begin by cleaning around the sore tooth meticulously. Using warm salt water, rinse the mouth to displace any food trapped between teeth. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES use aspirin on the aching tooth or on the gum. In the event of facial swelling, apply a cold compress to the area. For temporary pain relief, acetaminophen is recommended.
Orthodontics
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child has an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7.Early detection and treatment give your child the edge – a much better chance for natural and normal development. By working with the natural growth instead of against it.
