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.
