Teething occurs when an infant’s teeth start to grow in sequentially. For some babies, teething starts as early as three months and for others, as late as twelve months. It often takes several years for all the 20 deciduous (or ‘baby’) teeth to emerge. The infants teeth literally cut through their soft, fleshy gums, which is why this is often referred to as “cutting teeth”.

You’ll know your child is teething when she starts to get irritable, have a loss of appetite, starts chewing and gnawing on objects, or her gums become swollen or bruised. Other signs include excessive salivation, a raised temperature, and sometimes a child will get an earache and diaper rash. These teething symptoms usually start to show up about six months into your baby’s development.

As this process continues, you’ll soon notice that your baby loves to chew on almost anything she/he can get their hands on! This is therefore a time to be alert because a baby who is allowed to chew on objects small enough to be swallowed or anything that could break when chewed, is in danger of choking. Teething rings and other toys are a good solution to avoid this risk since they’re often designed with textures that massage a baby’s tender gums and satisfies their need to chew on something.

In situations where an infant is obviously in pain, there are doctors who recommend using an anti-inflammatory or child-safe pain-relief treatment that contains benzocaine, such as Baby Orajel. Some infants find relief by chewing on cold objects, such as a cool washcloth or a teething ring specially designed for being frozen.

In addition, you can also try to massage your baby’s gums with a clean finger. This may prove to be uncomfortable for your baby at first, but he/she will likely find it comforting after a few gentle rubs.

Some Pediatric dentists recommend brushing your baby’s teeth as soon as they start to come in and not to wait until they’re all coming in before introducing a regular oral hygiene routine. However, using toothpaste during this process is generally not recommended.

The baby boomer generation, those born between 1946 and 1964, now make up an estimated 80 million people in the United States. Boomers grew up in an era when terms like sun protection factor, free radicals and antioxidants were non-existent. Now, many are facing the damaging effects of sun exposure, environmental toxins and stress as well as the effects of fast paced lifestyle choices. Fortunately, because we are now living in a time of significant advancements in skin care, baby boomers can substantially reverse these detrimental aging effects.

Top in youth-oriented treatments and products is the Baby Boomer Peel, specially formulated for the specific challenges faced by those between the ages of 43 and 63. If you are looking for aging baby boomers products, here are 8 benefits of the Baby Boomer Peel:

No Surgery or Downtime

By using safe, superficial chemical peels specially formulated for baby boomers, you may not have to resort to plastic surgery which is not only expensive but requires extensive healing time. With a peel, baby boomers will look younger, feel younger and live younger without surgery.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the key to youthful skin. Peels formulated for baby boomers gently lift away layers of dead, damaged skin cells to reveal fresher, softer skin with fewer lines and smaller pores.

Skin Stimulation

This peel will also stimulate the skin, encouraging new, healthy cells to travel upward to reveal moist, pink, renewed skin. In addition, increased blood flow from the stimulation also brings needed nutrients to the skin.

Diminished Crow’s Feet and Lines around the Mouth

A major benefit of the Baby Boomer Peel is how easily the fine lines and crow’s feet diminish with proper treatment.



More Even Skin Tone


Baby Boomer Peels even skin tone, lessening sun and age spots and creating a younger, smoother and more refined texture.

Increased Circulation

Increased circulation due to the peels brings vitality to tiny blood vessels responsible for tissue respiration, which brings more oxygen to the skin.

Firmer Skin

By using a peel specially formulated for baby boomers, slackened tissue becomes firmer and more toned, which is especially important for the jowl and neck areas.

Stronger Skin

Baby boomer peels also strengthen skin tissue, allowing the skin to take on a healthier, more youthful glow.

By utilizing natural ingredients partnered with scientifically developed compounds, baby boomer peels can turn back the hands of time, undoing years of damage from the sun and other sources. Aggressive peeling may occur in the first week and the appearance of the skin will continue to improve for the next few weeks, resulting in fewer fine lines and skin discolorations as well as a reduction in pore size. Offered in a range of specific peelings, baby boomer peels are especially geared for the boomer generation to refresh, revitalize, renew and protect the skin.
