February is Children’s Dental Health Month.
What does that have to do with travel? Well, if you have ever been on an airplane with a miserable infant or toddler, you may have been witnessing the miserable side of teething! I am curious to research if the changing pressure of an airplane cabin 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 in the carry-on bag to soothe those irritated gums and comfort the poor little ones who don’t understand the sometimes intense or nagging pain. I really like a product called Chewable Jewels – invented by a dentist and mother! Non-toxic and convenient to gnaw on, this jewelry provides some much needed relief when the teeth start pushing on those gums.
