What happens when my baby is teething?
When your baby is teething, their first teeth start to cut through their gums, coming through into their mouth. This usually begins when a child is around 6 months old and can cause your little one a lot of discomfort and irritation. Some of the most common symptoms you may notice when your baby is teething include:
- Sore, red gums where the tooth is coming through
- Dribbling
- Your baby wants to chew or gnaw on things
- One flushed or red cheek
- Your baby may be fussy or irritable
How will this product ease teething pain?
Anbesol Teething Gel contains the active ingredient lidocaine hydrochloride, which is a local anaesthetic. This means that it works wherever you apply it to ease pain in that area. This gel also contains the ingredients chlorocresol and cetylpyridinium chloride, which help to kill bacteria in the mouth that could cause further irritation or infection.
