Teething and Dental Pain

Teething and Dental Pain

 
Teething and Dental Pain can be some of the worst pain most people (and babies) experience. There’s just something about it that gets past our normal pain coping mechanisms and knocks us out! Rather than reaching for pain killers or oral gels full of yucky and harmful ingredients here’s our go to list of things that help knock out dental pain and sooth teething babies!

Lavender and roman chamomile essential oil

Rubbed on the outside of the jawline will ease discomfort and inflammation. We like this pair from Eden’s Garden.

Clove essential oil

This can be placed directly on the affected area(s) and it will instantly numb your pain! For children dilute with coconut oil. Go slowly with this one - its a HOT oil and can burn so use sparingly.  Check out doTERRA’s clove oil.

Hylands Oral Pain Relief

These little tablets work like a charm for little ones! Just pop a couple of pellets in their mouth for quick relief! Find Hyland’s on Amazon.

Amber teething necklace

Adorable and functional. They help cut back on drool and provide relief because amber has natural anti-inflammatory properties. The lack of fussiness will be enjoyed by all. 

Cold

Give your little something cold to chew or suck on. An ice cube could be hard to hold onto so make some pops! If you are producing milk you can even make breast milk popsicles. If not, use coconut water for a hint of sweetness and hydration. I love these molds because they are perfect for little hands. 

Teething jewelry

Silicone teething jewelry is genius. Babes can gnaw away and get some sweet relief. I love these necklaces! They are also easy to wash and can be tossed in the dishwasher.
