Teeth may emerge almost unnoticed, especially the first ones. In other cases there may be some discomfort.
A bluish cyst on the gum or an increase in salivation may be noticeable when a tooth first emerges.
Sometimes the child is more agitated, their cheeks and bottom may become blushed (erythema), they may have a temperature and digestion may be affected. These symptoms can last for 24 to 48 hours.
Teething does not require any specific treatment except when there is a fever. In this case you can ask your paediatric dentist or paediatrician to recommend the most suitable anti-pyretic.
Cold teething rings and naturally calming creams (Teejel) can help to soothe sensitive gums.
