Teething gel is a topical product designed to soothe the discomfort associated with teething in infants and young children. It typically contains ingredients like benzocaine or chamomile that help numb the gums and provide temporary relief from pain and irritation as new teeth emerge. Parents often apply the gel directly to the gums using a clean finger or a cotton swab. While teething gel can be effective, it is important to follow the instructions on the packaging and consult a pediatrician if there are any concerns about its use or the child's teething symptoms.
