What is a baby teething glove?

A baby teething glove, also known as a finger toothbrush, is a soft silicone teething device that fits over your finger with silicone bumps for teething. It can typically be used from 4-6 months old, when the first teeth start to emerge. It's used to soothe baby's aching gums, ease teething pain, and introduce good tooth cleaning habits early on.
Pediatric dentists generally recommend starting cleaning from when the first tooth appears. A teething glove is practical for this because your baby can't hold a brush yet, but you have controlled cleaning on your finger. The silicone bumps provide gentle but effective stimulation to the gums.
One downside: once your baby starts biting hard, you might feel discomfort on your finger — at that point, switching to a regular baby toothbrush may be better. If using a teething glove, rinse with hot water after each use and don't leave it in a damp spot to avoid mold.
