Here are some basics that parents should know about teething, courtesy of the American Dental Association:
- Irritability, fussiness, drooling, and loss of appetite are common symptoms of teething.
- Diarrhea, rash, and fever are not caused by teething, and should be evaluated by a doctor.
- Small cysts near erupting teeth are common and harmless.
- Tender gums may be soothed with a teething ring, pacifier, or a cream that helps numb the gums.
- Gums can also be massaged with a clean finger or damp piece of gauze.
