Why do children have itchy teeth?

I believe that many parents will find that their baby will experience itchy teeth during the teething stage. This is because teething causes great stimulation to the gums, which can cause gum pain and itching. You can use a small amount of ice cubes to cool the baby to relieve the discomfort caused by the teeth. You can also buy some teether products and let the child bite hard, which can relieve the symptoms.

Why do children have itchy teeth?

Because of the stimulation to the gingival nerves when the teeth erupt, the baby's gums will feel some discomfort, such as itchy gums, gum pain, etc. Some babies even like to put things in their mouths and bite them. These are all caused by the teeth. Once the teeth grow out, these symptoms will naturally disappear. However, parents can still use some small methods to alleviate the discomfort caused by teething.

Steps/Methods

1. Wipe your baby's gums with gauze dipped in cold water every day. If it is summer, you can wrap a small piece of ice in cotton gauze and apply a cold compress to your baby, which can temporarily relieve the discomfort caused by teething.

2. Perform gum training. There are many products such as teethers on the market now, which are designed to relieve baby's tooth discomfort. You can buy some teethers or teething sticks for your baby to bite. This can not only relieve discomfort, but also train your baby's chewing ability, killing two birds with one stone.

3. Because of gum discomfort, the baby may bite his lips and tongue, or even bite the mother's nipple when breastfeeding. This will not only hurt himself, but also affect the growth of teeth and cause buck teeth. Mothers should pay more attention to their baby's every move and stop it in time if they find their baby biting his lips. If the baby refuses to let go and you can't force him, you can gently scratch his lips to make him release them.
