By the time your child is 2 or 3 years old they should have 20 primary teeth. If they are cutting teeth and are in pain try rubbing the gums with a clean finger, or rub the gums with the back of a small, cool spoon. Children should start visiting the Dentist with you around the age of 3 or 4 years old.
Lots of people suffer from bruxism, or tooth grinding. Several things can cause this, such as stress, tension, or lack of sleep. You can treat this by wearing a hard acrylic splint to prevent pain or soreness.
