Sure, all teeth cause pain when they are coming in, but do some cause more pain than others?
Oh, the horrors of teething. It’s a painful process for both babies and parents. Don’t you remember how painful it was when your baby teeth started to come in? No, of course, you don’t! None of us do. But if you’re a, you won’t soon forget the sleepless nights, the crying, and the frustration that both baby and you go through. Actually, it’s too bad that we can’t remember what teething was like because if we could, we might feel better equipped to help our little one through the process.
Since adults can’t recall what the teething process feels like and babies can’t tell us in words what they are feeling, we have to rely on information provided by experts such as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry to guide us. Fortunately, they know quite a bit about deciduous teeth. Wait, deciduous what the what?! Deciduous teeth are what many of us call baby, milk or primary teeth.
As for what teeth are actually the most painful when cutting through a baby's gums, chances are that not-so-wonderful award goes to the molars because they are bigger. But the first molars don't come in until around 14 to 18 months and by then both you and baby are more accustomed to the process and it doesn't come as such a shock to baby's system. Not only does the teething pain depend on the child, it also depends on the situation.
We know this can be a very stressful time, especially if you aren't getting much sleep because your baby is having a hard time sleeping at night with so much pain. If that's the case, you can consult your pediatrician about giving your baby a weight-appropriate dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen – if they are over 6 months – to help ease their pain at night. As for you, remind yourself that this will not last forever. Be patient with yourself and the situation.
