Teething

Amelia had quite a day...she pushed two more molars through her bottom gums. About two weeks ago it was two on the top. Just think about how much that must hurt. Think about the last time you had a toothache. Now think about having two toothaches at once, on opposite sides of your mouth. Then imagine how it is when you don't understand why it hurts. You're not an adult who can understand a dentist telling you that it's a cavity or gingivitis...you're a baby who just hurts. On top of it you get diarreah and a diaper rash which makes it all the more terrible. If you're lucky, someone notices and figures out why you're so unhappy and gives you some Tylenol...or Oragel. If you're not, your parents figure it out once the teeth are all the way through and the pain is lessening anyway.
