James Frizzell, DDS, has owned and operated his Niagara Falls, Ontario dental practice since 1993. Over the course of caring for patients as a dentist in Niagara Falls, James Frizzell, DDS, has treated patients of every age, from seniors to the treatment of an infant’s first teeth.

As young children deal with the emergence of their first teeth, there are several doctor-approved techniques families can implement in order to help children deal with the pain and discomfort. One of the easiest treatments to apply is a wet cloth. Families can freeze the cloth, then allow the baby to chew on it. The cloth serves as both a distraction from the discomfort and a means of reducing inflammation of the gums.

Teething rings and toys provide a similar benefit, though the added pressure more effectively addresses gum soreness. However, gel-based toys should be placed in the refrigerator rather than the freezer, as they're more likely to break when children chew on them if frozen. Teething biscuits are a non-frozen alternative, though parents should pay close attention to a child’s oral hygiene after they finish one of these snacks.
