When it comes to being a parent there is a long list of things to think about from what to feed your baby, how to dress them, or what medicine to give them when they are sick. But when it comes to your child’s oral care needs, Orajel™ has you covered. From the first symptom of teething, to teaching your child to brush their teeth on their own, Orajel™ can help.

Around the age of six to eight months, a baby typically begins the often painful process of teething when the first set of teeth breaks through the gums. Try the following tips & tricks to help naturally soothe your baby’s teething discomfort.

Teething remedies: Homeopathic teething remedies, such as Baby Orajel™ Naturals Quick Dissolve Teething Tablets and Teething Gel, offer safe, effective teething pain relief. They use the soothing, natural ingredient chamomilla as a main ingredient, and do not contain benzocaine, belladonna, dyes and parabens. Learn more at www.babyorajelnaturals.com.

Rub their gums: Gently rub your baby’s gums with a cold, damp washcloth or a soft rubber finger massager. The pressure can ease your baby’s discomfort.

Offer a teething ring: Try one made of firm rubber, as liquid-filled varieties might break under the pressure of your baby’s chewing.

Offer cool relief: A cold, but not frozen, washcloth or chilled teething ring can be soothing on a baby’s gums.

Wipe them down: Wipe your baby’s face with a cloth to remove drool and prevent a rash from developing.

Once teeth begin to appear, it is important to brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush to help prevent tooth decay. Baby Orajel™ Fluoride-Free Tooth & Gum Cleanser is a safe way to care for baby’s gums and first teeth. It is safe if swallowed when used as directed.

Before you know it your baby will have grown into an adorable, lovable toddler. This is the time to introduce them to Orajel™ Fluoride-Free Training Toothpaste! This great tasting toothpaste is the perfect option for kids taking their first steps in practicing good oral health.
