When should you start offering a teether to your baby? Around 2 months! At this age, your baby will just be starting to grasp things so it’s nornal to need to help and guide it to their mouth. It’s also normal if they drop it often at first! Around 4 months, they really start being able to use them independently for longer periods of time without getting fussy or dropping them! Teethers with extensions are best, not round shapes. The benefits of chewing on them are: ➡️ helps reduce teething discomfort ➡️ decreases pacifier dependence ➡️ encourages jaw strength and development! #teething #teethingbaby #babyteething #babyteeth #momlife #momhack #newmom #newmomtips #dentist

What is one of the first signs of teething? DROOLING! Other signs of teeth are: ➡️ Low grade fever ➡️ Irritability ➡️ Coughing ➡️ Red/swollen gums ➡️ Ear pulling/cheek rubbing Teething can start 2-3 months before a tooth pops through! It can start as early as 2 months old! #teething #teethingbabies #babyteething #momlife #drooling #droolingbaby

Don’t buy these!!! 5 Dental Products that are not worth it: 1. Whitening Pens - the whitening material is not on your teeth long enough to do anything 2. Whitening Toothpaste - just abrasive, takes off outside stains but can wear away teeth if over used 3. Mouthwash - if you brush and floss, this is just not necessary 4. Charcoal Toothpaste - too abrasive, not safe to use 5. Oil Pulling - you have to swish for 20 min for it to be effective… who has that kind of time or cheek muscles 😆 6. Hard Bristle Toothbrush - not safe, can cause hot/cold sensitivity in your teeth #teethwhitening #teethbleaching #cleanteeth #oilpulling #whiteteeth #mouthwash #whiteningpen #whiteningtoothpaste
