There are many things suggested to reduce teething pain in babies that are teething

Some of these are safe and some should be avoided

Washcloths For Teething Pain Relief

teething - a painful time

Why a washcloth you might ask? Wash cloths can be easily moved even when

frozen. Yes, frozen. Not only do they thaw out quickly, but they remain

cold longer and feel good on your baby’s gums. They also will soak up some

of the excess saliva.  To utilize this inexpensive idea you would get a clean

wash cloth wet and stick it in the freezer. Once it is frozen enough for  you just give it to your baby

Teething is not something that is fun for babies, or parents either.

Thankfully it only lasts a short time and most of the time you get a break

between teeth. Doing the best you can to keep your baby comfortable and happy is all that you can do.

Why Are Baby Teeth So Important and When Should You Wean a Baby? – Winnipeg Childrens Dentist

0 comments
Pediatric Dentistry is a dental specialty that concentrates its attention on infants and childrens providing preventive and therapeutic oral health care.
In Winnipeg there are many childrens dentists to choose from but not all of them have the extra training required to be called a Pediatric Dentist
During your childrens “growth” phase, special approaches are needed to guide the childrens dental growth and development in order to avoid future dental problems. According to Dr Mitch Vodrey DDS
a Winnipeg childrens Pediatric Dental Specialist this is the most important time to see a childrens dentist
A common question that parents ask is “why spend money on the maintenance of their childrens baby teeth  when they are to be eventually replaced by their permanent teeth?”

Your Childrens Baby (Milk) teeth are as important as the permanent ones because:

  • Milk teeth serve as space maintainers for the proper spacing and alignment of the permanent teeth.
  • Healthy milk teeth are crucial in helping the baby learn how to speak properly.
  • Baby teeth are important in proper feeding and nutrition.
  • Healthy looking teeth are important in building self-confidence at an early age. Small children because of immaturity are quick to tease peers about ugly looking or decayed teeth.

Childrens Baby Bottle Tooth Decay

This term describes a dental condition which involves the rapid decay of many or all the baby teeth of an infant or child. The teeth most likely to be damaged are the upper front teeth since they are the first teeth to erupt and thus have the longest exposure time to the sugars in the feeding bottle. The lower front teeth tend to be protected by the tongue as the child sucks on the nipple of the bottle or the breast.
Baby Bottle Tooth Decay is caused by long exposure of a child’s teeth to liquid containing sugars generally when the baby falls asleep with a bottle containing milk or juice or a pacifier dipped in honey. The liquid pools around the front teeth. During sleep, the bacteria living in every baby’s mouth, turns the milk sugar or other sugars to acid which causes the decay.

As parents we have many lessons to teach our kids

As parents we have many lessons to teach our kids, one of the most challenging is teaching them the need for good, regular dental hygiene necessary between trips to the childrens dentist.

It is never too early to start the lessons, in fact the earlier we show our children the right way to brush the better chance we have of teeth brushing becoming a habit. (more…)
