Why Should You Not Freeze Teething Rings | Melikey

If your baby is currently teething, you will know that this can cause a lot of pain and crying. You want to relieve your baby's discomfort and may be told that teething rings will help.

Before choosing a teething ring for your baby, you need to know some important things so that you can choose a teething ring that is safe and correct to use. Here are some suggestions from silicone teether supplier Melikey Silicone.

Choose teething rings that do not contain chemicals

Some teething rings contain chemicals that may be dangerous to babies. Phthalates are added to some plastics to soften them. The problem is that these chemicals can leak out and be ingested, which can cause medical problems. Please check the label on the teething ring before buying. Look for phthalates, bisphenol A, or fragrances. Normally the food grade silicone teether and hard wood such as beech wood teethers would be good.

Don't choose a tooth ring filled with liquid

Some teething rings are filled with liquids that may be harmful to babies. Sometimes the liquid is contaminated with bacteria. If your baby bites badly, fluid may overflow from the teething ring and may make your baby sick​​​ Liquids can also pose a suffocation hazard.

Choose teething rings without small pieces

Some teething rings are decorated with small pieces, such as beads, to make them more attractive to babies. If these fragments are removed, there may be a suffocation hazard. Look for a strong teething ring to reduce the risk to your baby.

Put the tooth ring in the refrigerator, not in the freezer

Many people suggest freezing teething rings to relieve gum pain, but this may not be a good idea. The icy teething ring is very strong, and if your baby bites hard, it may scratch his gums. A frozen teething ring can also cause frostbite to your baby's gums or lips.

Do not freeze the teething ring, but put it in the refrigerator to cool down. The cool feeling will soothe your baby's gums without the risks associated with freezing the teething ring.

Take your baby to the pediatric dentist

You should take your child to the pediatric dentist before his first birthday. The dentist will count the baby's teeth, check for any problems, and discuss nutrition, oral hygiene, teething, and any problems you may have. If your child needs a dental exam, please make an appointment for CT Pediatric Dentistry immediately.
