Is there tooth powder for babies?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Before using tooth powder, tooth gel, or any topical product on babies during teething, you must always consult your pediatrician. According to Turkish and international pediatric guidelines, benzocaine-containing products are not recommended for babies under 2 years due to serious side effect risks. There is also insufficient safety and efficacy data for natural tooth powders.

First-choice options for teething discomfort: a clean, cool (not frozen) teething toy, cool damp cloth, gentle gum massage with clean finger. If crying and discomfort are severe, you can consult your pediatrician about age-appropriate paracetamol (acetaminophen) dosing. Powder or gel are less safe than these methods.
