What is Teething?
Teething occurs when a baby’s first teeth break through the gums, usually starting around 6 months of age. It can cause sore gums, irritability, drooling, biting, and disrupted sleep. Some babies may also develop flushed cheeks or mild fever during teething episodes.
While teething is a natural part of development, the discomfort can affect both babies and parents, making this a challenging time for families.
How can we help?
Our pharmacists can support you through the Common Ailments Service, providing safe and effective teething gels, powders, or soothing remedies to reduce discomfort. We can also recommend teething rings and gentle gum massage techniques to help ease symptoms.
This advice is available free of charge, and we’ll ensure you understand which remedies are safe for your child’s age and when to seek further medical care if symptoms persist or worsen.
