Teething in Toddlers and Older Children
Teething takes place sometimes between three months and two
years of age: a long, long time if your child turns out to
have trouble with teething pain.

While the first, early tooth is an event and a reason to
celebrate, parents may worry about their children teething
too early or too late, but it's such an individual thing
that some children may start showing teeth soon after their
third month while others may wait a year before a single
little white cap appears. Most children start teething
around the fifth or sixth month: about the time they are
switching to solid food. Preemies will start later than
other children, but this is an upside: you might get a
chance to sleep through the night before the teething
begins! |

When babies start cutting teeth, the front teeth appear
first, and then the molars come along three to six months
later. By the time your toddler is three years old, he or
she may have a full set of baby teeth –20 in all. Teething
pain may start a month or two before the first tooth
appears, since the gums become swollen and tender as the
teeth start to exert upward pressure on them. Molars in
particular can cause problems in children who had no problem
cutting incisors because the breadth of the back teeth can
cause more pressure and pain on the gums.
An infant who's cutting a tooth may be cranky, especially at night when there
are fewer distractions. A 20 month old child or a two year old is generally
cranky much of the time, and may be in the stages of active tantrum throwing
while teething. It probably doesn't get much worse than that! The parents' job
is twofold: try to keep the little one comfortable by using home remedies and
various means of pain relief; and, make sure that the doubled irritability of
your toddler doesn't mask actual illness such as an ear infection. Ear
infections occur in children of this age, and the pain may cause crying, refusal
of food and other signs similar to those of teething. In fact, many medical
personnel tend to put nearly everything down to teething, making it more
important than ever that parents be vigilant and assertive in making sure their
children's medical needs are being met.
The main difference between teething pain and ear infection pain is that
teething pain seems to diminish at times: pain from ear infection worsens. The
other very important symptom of an ear infection is fever: fever begins, climbs
and worsens. Some children may run a low, intermittent fever while teething, but
it shouldn’t get worse and should never be high. Doctors are of divided opinion
on the issue of teething fever: some say it's totally unrelated to teething and
others say it can happen. The fact is that some children do run a low fever when
teething and others don't. But if your child has a climbing fever, don't assume
it's the teething: go to the pediatrician.
Having pain in the mouth is distracting, even for adults, Help your child combat
sore gums with cold foods like applesauce, pudding or cold mashed bananas. Apply
pressure with a gentle rub of your finger across the gums and let your child
chew on a chilled pacifier, teething rings or cold carrots. At any age,
popsicles are welcome for their numbing and cooling effects: make your own with
herb tea if you don't want your child to eat a lot of sugar or chemicals.
