[Bradleys MoM]

The four fang teeth in the front, the last of the teeth to come in before the 2 year molars? Bradley is 17 months old and the poor thing is getting in all 4 canines at the same time! He hasn't slept a good night's sleep in two weeks, he wakes up everday from his nap with a fever and drooling and he's is grinding his teeth constantly. He calls his medicine (ibuprophen)"satin"and constantly whines that he wants"satin"which tells me he is pain a lot (I try to only give him it at night). When did your toddler get their canines and how did they do with them? Any suggestions for helping the little guy? Orajel is useless and he hates frozen washclothes.Very Proud Mommy: I ALMOST felt stupid.....until I made sure I WAS right about calling them canines.Primary Teeth Development ChartUpper Teeth When tooth emerges When tooth falls outCentral incisor 8 to 12 months 6 to 7 yearsLateral incisor 9 to 13 months 7 to 8 yearsCanine (cuspid) 16 to 22 months 10 to 12 yearsFirst molar 13 to 19 months 9 to 11 yearsSecond molar 25 to 33 months 10 to 12 yearsLower TeethSecond molar 23 to 31 months 10 to 12 yearsFirst molar 14 to 18 months 9 to 11 yearsCanine (cuspid) 17 to 23 months 9 to 12 yearsLateral incisor 10 to 16 months 7 to 8 yearsCentral incisor 6 to 10 months 6 to 7 years

My daughter is getting her canines in right now, 3 came in at the same time, and she's working on the 4th one. Have you seen the orajel swabs? They are a little easier to apply to the gums, if that is your problem. You can also try frozen treats, such as popsicles. Frozen gummy bears work well for my daughter, but you have to be careful with them, since they are a choking hazard. The frozen washcloth never worked for her, either. Infant tylenol is very safe for them, and there is nothing wrong with giving it to them every 4 hours, especially if they are in that much pain.

Try asking your Pediatrician for something stronger.

My mother-in-law got me some"Teething Tablets."She said they are over-the-counter, but they are kept behind the pharmacy. They are tiny little tablets that crumble or dissolve when put to the gums. They are all natural and my daughter liked them. It's worth a try. Btw, she got them at Kroger.

aww that's a shame for the wee man try calpol i found that good for babies my daughter is 19 months and hasn't got her EYE teeth yet canines are for dogs. Ok i take it back lol i thought that name was for dogs only sorry
