At the child the increased salivation, temperature, desire to scratch gums any objects silt cams in that case is often observed. It is possible to facilitate unpleasant feelings the special anesthetizing gels cooled with teethers. The irritation on skin from pampers or diathesis can interrupt the child's sleep.
