Pediatric Dental Group is the trusted pediatric dentistry center of Honolulu, HI that every parent can turn to and know they are getting the best dental care for their children. The dentists at our practice offer everything from routine dental exams to teeth cleaning and won't hesitate to help parents discover new ways to help keep their children's teeth stay healthy and strong. Today, Pediatric Dental Group wants to help parents of babies who are going through their teething period and in need of ways to ease the pain. Here are some of our top recommendations: 

Give something chilled to the young child to munch on and soothe the teething pain. Refrigerating a teether or pacifier and then giving it to them is one example or chilling a clean, wet washcloth and letting them suck on it will be a big distraction. Don't hesitate to ask the pediatric dentists of Pediatric Dental Group about other safe, cold materials that can be used for easing teething pain.

When at-home remedies don't seem to work, parents can come to the Pediatric Dental Group to discuss topical medications that will help effectively ease teething pain. Placing a topical gel substance to the gums will numb the area and distract the babies from pain and discomfort. It is very important to get a medication that is safe for children under the age of two and Pediatric Dental Group will help parents make sure they receive the tools they need to stop pain in its tracks.
