February is Children’s Dental Health Month. What does that have to do with travel?
If you have ever been on an airplane with a miserable infant or toddler, you may have witnessed the miserable side of teething! I have always been curious if the changing pressure experienced in flight has anything to do with the bad timing of these teething events. Whether an infant or a toddler, teething can happen “out of the blue”.
My advice to parents of young fliers is to pack a little “peace of mind” (teething products) in the carry-on bag to soothe irritated gums. This may provide some much needed comfort for the poor little ones who don’t understand the intense or nagging pain of teething. I really like Chewable Jewels – a teething product invented by a dentist who is also a mother! Non-toxic and convenient to gnaw on when traveling, this teething jewelry may provide much needed relief when teeth start pushing on those gums.
