Teething can start as early as three months of age and continue until your child is around three years old.

• Teething may cause some discomfort for your baby.
• Your baby can suck on a clean, cold wet cloth or teething ring to ease teething pain.
• Teething gels and over-the-counter pain-relieving medications can also be useful.
• Dental visits are recommended from 12 - 18 months or when the first tooth comes through.
• Ask your dental professional for further advice if needed.

• Clean their teeth and gums twice a day, after breakfast and before bed at night.
• Use a clean cloth or a small, soft bristled toothbrush with water.
• From 0 - 17 months, do not use toothpaste.
