Answer 1

I'm a dentist.

Orajel is not a great idea, in my opinion. First of all, topical anesthetics are, to some extent, introduced into the bloodstream when used in the mouth. Use too much orajel too frequently, and you could conceivably accrue appreciable amounts of benzocaine (the active ingredient) in the body. Unlikely it is, but certainly something to consider.

Additionally, your child is very likely to swallow it. It's not harmful to swallow (in small amounts, but it may induce nausea. Babies have enough of that problem.

Finally, there are other ways to ease the pain, like teething spoons.

Answer 2

Get one of those ice teething rings, he will bite down on it and it will numb his gums taking away the pain, without any side effects.

Answer 3

I strongly agree w/ DavidM brandy or whisky....just dip your finger and rub it on his gums..... its a home remedy my mom used on all 4 of her children and i used it on mine......and no they wont become an alcoholic cause i hardly drink... try it you will sleep well and so will the baby

Answer 4

Dip your finger in whisky and rub it on his gums. It's a tried and true method. It'll numb his gums up so it doesn't hurt so much.

Answer 5

Go to your nearest Drug Store and buy teething tablets, it always shuts my neice up and she's 19 months.

Answer 6

tylenol is the best bet. the bubble gum liquid medicine. that's always the best. don't go with oragel.

Answer 7

there is a medication for your baby. its like a q-tip but especially made for babies. you just rub it around his gums... this medication is in all pharmancy's

Answer 8
