I'm afraid Hayden's huge-child-teeth (there's no way those things could be called 'baby teeth'!) would rip a hole in them! Jenny—I think so. If you have a girl, you should probably use a pink pen. ;) Lindsey—That’s okay.

I'd never heard of it before. The person that did it here made their clove oil out of vegetable oil and cloves, so maybe it was less . . . sting-y. Wow. I’d never heard of it before.

I picked some up at CVS when I had a bad toothache...the only problem is that it BURNS when its first applied. Very uncomfortable for me, so it might not be such a good idea for a baby...or toddler.
