In most babies, teething starts at around six months old, when their first teeth start to push through their gums, although it can be earlier or later than this age.
The main cause of teething pain is the pressure of the tooth pushing through the gums. It is thought that babies’ cheeks and jaws can ache as they feel the teeth moving in their gums.
Your baby’s gum may be sore and red where the tooth is coming through, or one of their cheeks may be flushed. They may dribble, gnaw and chew more, or be generally irritable.
To help relieve teething pain, you can gently rub your baby’s gum with a clean finger or allow them to bite onto a clean, cool object, such as a chilled (not frozen) teething ring, or cold, wet flannel. You can rub a sugar-free teething gel on their gums to help relieve teething pain. Make sure you use a teething gel specifically designed for young children and not a general adult oral pain relief gel which is not indicated for use in children. If your baby has a raised temperature or is in pain, you may want to give them a children’s sugar-free painkiller such as ibuprofen or a children’s paracetamol suspension. Aspirin should not be given to children under the age of 16. If you are unsure you should always get advice from a healthcare professional.
