Teething

Common signs of teething include swollen or inflamed gums, flushed cheeks, and excessive drooling. You may also notice your baby sucking on their fingers, restlessness, and a slight teething fever. If your baby is unusually cranky or has more frequent bowel movements, these are often signs that a new tooth is about to erupt.

You can gently massage your baby’s gums with a clean finger or use baby gum wipes. Providing a teether for them to chew on is also very effective. A pro-tip for parents: place your silicone teething toys in the fridge (not the freezer) to provide a cooling sensation that numbs sore gums. For severe discomfort, consult your doctor about using infant pain relief like paracetamol or specialized teething granules.

Safety is the top priority. Choose BPA-free teethers made from food-grade silicone that are non-toxic and large enough to prevent choking. Look for textured teething rings that help massage the gums. Many teethers also double as sensory development toys, helping your baby improve their grasping and motor skills while relieving pain.

We stock a wide range of teething relief products, including homeopathic teething gels, soothing granules, and infant-safe dental wipes. Whether you need silicone teething rings or trusted brands for gum care, Klick.africa provides everything you need to keep your baby comfortable during this milestone.

Infant oral care should begin even before the first tooth appears. Around 3 months, you can start using baby dental wipes to keep the mouth clean. As soon as that first tooth breaks through, transition to a soft-bristled baby toothbrush designed for children under 2 years to prevent early tooth decay.
