What are the remedies for teething pain?

Dr. Steven Green - Holistic Family Dentistry
Herbs can minimize discomfort, reduce inflammation and modulate the immune system. Useful herbs might be calendula flowers, catnip, Echinacea, elder or linden flowers, lemon balm or usnea combined with chamomile flowers, willow bark, or wintergreen leaves. These herbs can be prepared as poultices, teas, Popsicles, glycerites or tinctures. Chewing on carrots, or peeled frozen grapes or dried apples can distract. Combination homeopathic remedies are available at the health food store.

What can I do about teething pain?

Dentistry.com - A Guide to Children's Dental Health
When teeth begin erupting, some children may have sore or tender gums. Teething, which may start around 6 months and continue until age 3, can make them irritable. Gently rubbing your baby's gums with a clean finger, a small cool spoon, or a wet gauze pad can be soothing. You also can give the baby a clean teething ring to chew on. Contrary to popular belief, fever is not normal for a teething baby. If your infant has a fever while teething, call your physician.

Mary Bove, N.D. notes that teething is often accompanied by symptoms of dribbling, chewing on fingers and objects, red swollen gums, fretfulness, irritability, clinginess, sleep disturbances, facial rash, lack of appetite and bowel changes.

Does teething hurt? What can I do about it?

Equine Dental Faq's
Occasionally a horse may eat slowly or chew funny for a day or two, but usually there is no apparent discomfort. Caps are the baby teeth. They are called caps because they do not have deep roots like the permanent teeth and when the permanent tooth pushes the cap off, it looks like it was a "hat" sitting on top of the new tooth. Sometimes the horse will leave them in the feed bucket, but they probably swallow them frequently.
