In the event of rubbing or erosion, you should contact your dentist to correct the position of the prosthesis.

Gel kamistad baby
When the first teeth begin to erupt in a child, this becomes a real test not only for the baby, but also for the parents. The child's temperature rises, he becomes capricious and picky because of the pain that bothers him. In order to somehow help him, you need to use drugs. Normal Kamistad gel not recommended for use at such an early age, as it contains lidocaine, but the children's drug perfectly helps the child to cope with painful sensations.
In order not to jeopardize the health of the child should first consult a doctor and only after its approval to use one or another drug, although Kamistad baby gel is dispensed at a pharmacy without a prescription. When referring to a pediatrician, he himself may prescribe this drug, since many parents leave positive feedback about him. At bedtime, it is recommended to lubricate the baby’s gums with gel. This will calm the pain and allow the baby to fall asleep calmly and firmly.
The first tooth begins to erupt already in the sixth month of life. Gradually, the child learns the skills of chewing food. The teeth should erupt symmetrically - first the lower, then the upper, while swollen dense mounds form on the gums. This process, as a rule, is accompanied by poor health, swelling of the gums, painful sensations. The child refuses food, loses sleep, he feels bad, but he cannot yet tell about it.
To restore calmness to your baby, use painkillers. Kamistad for children is good because the gel base allows you to self-spread over the mucous shell. Apply the drug to the gums pointwise. In addition to the painkiller, the medicine also has a calming and cooling effect.
Kamistad gel for stomatitis
Stomatitis can occur for a variety of reasons - malnutrition, hormonal failure, allergic reactions, mechanical injuries. Before starting treatment should establish the cause. The first thing that is recommended for stomatitis is nutrition correction. In the daily diet should include foods that contain enough folic acid, selenium, zinc.
Patients in childhood often have an infectious disease - herpetic stomatitis, which is transmitted by airborne droplets. A child may get sick in the kindergarten or catch an infection at school. Sometimes it is taken for acute respiratory disease. The characteristic symptoms of herpetic stomatitis are: painful swelling gums, formation of vesicles in the oral cavity, which turn into erosion and cover the entire mucous membrane. Damage to stomatitis is also called aftah.
Aphthous stomatitis requires complex treatment, otherwise it will go into a recurrent form. The mucous membrane is treated with analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. At the first signs of herpetic stomatitis, it is recommended to use Kamistad gel. If time to start treatment, you can avoid the appearance of erosion.

Reviews
When the child started to cut one's teeth, my wife and I no longer knew what to do, how to help him. The kid constantly cried, refused food, slept badly. The pediatrician prescribed the drug Kalgel, but he did not give the desired result. Kamistad turned out to be more effective. I bought a children's pharmacy, as it does not contain lidocaine. After smearing the child's gums with medicine, he calmed down. We have been using Kamistad for half a year already, we have almost forgotten what sleepless nights are.
I was prescribed Kamistad gel when sores from stomatitis began to appear in my mouth. They were very painful and it was impossible to forget about them for a minute. Rinses and ointments did not help, but Kamistad gel immediately calmed the pain. Gradually, the oral mucosa began to heal and after two weeks there was no trace of stomatitis. Now I keep this tool in the first-aid kit just in case.
When the older child had teeth, the doctors forbade us to use anything, we had to manage with traditional medicine. For the younger one, this process was also very problematic, but now we have been assigned Kamistad gel for children. At first she was afraid to smear the child's gums with this drug, but when the baby could not sleep at night, crying and suffering from pain, she had to use the medicine. I was pleased with the result. He really effectively relieves pain, soothes and reduces inflammation. I try not to abuse, I smear the mucous gel with the gel once before bedtime so that the child sleeps well and sometimes during the day.
Stomatitis is a very unpleasant disease. Small bubbles appear on the surface of the oral mucosa, they hurt and strongly interfere. In a pharmacy, I was advised Kamistad gel. The drug helped in three weeks to completely get rid of stomatitis.After the first spreading, the pain disappeared, then ulcers gradually began to decrease and soon disappeared completely. The result is satisfied and now I advise the drug to friends and always keep a tube of gel in the first-aid kit.
