Teething Relief: Why You Shouldn't Use Teething Gels


I have a teething baby … every day she gets closer to breaking a tooth through those cute little gums is a day she isn’t really too happy or full of smiles.
Two weeks ago, I did a post about my top 10 teething remedies that work best for our family, and I really couldn’t live without.  Then I read something on teething gels and the recall from months ago.  Yup!  I am late on that one!
But then I learned exactly why we shouldn’t be using teething gel with our precious little ones!  Most teething gels contain something called benzocaine which the FDA now advises against for teething pain relievers.
