Ampoules in the amount of 5 pcs. interconnected and placed in foil bags, in a standard package - 2 or 6 bags.

If the child has diseases of the oral cavity that require treatment, it is not recommended to use the product on its own. Its ingredients can distort the clinical picture and cause misdiagnosis.

Analogues are cheaper

Dantinorm Baby has both positive and negative reviews. Often, consumers write about its low efficiency. If the desired result is not achieved, you can try one of its many cheaper analogues, having previously found out what its differences are and how it is better than the means offered by the company Boiron.

All existing drugs that can be used to relieve symptoms associated with the process of teething are divided into 2 large groups:

Organic and homeopathic remedies

Pain relieving gels

They usually contain only natural ingredients: plant extracts and minerals. The funds are available in the form of drops or tablets. Their advantage is a harmless composition, a disadvantage is a high risk that the product will be ineffective. Homeopathic medicines have a cumulative effect: to obtain a therapeutic effect, it is necessary: Conduct treatment with a course. Start it at the first manifestations of anxiety in the child. Ignorance of this rule is one of the most common reasons for unflattering reviews about the funds of this group.

They always contain a local anesthetic (natural or synthetic). Among the advantages: fast and guaranteed effect of pain relief; the possibility of one-time use; cheapness. The disadvantages are: the composition and presence of components that can negatively affect the health of the baby; inconvenience in use: gels should be rubbed into the gums, which, if the baby has several teeth that have already erupted, becomes an unpleasant procedure; lack of sterility in the method of application.

Dantinorm Baby (analogues are cheaper - these are not only drugs) in simple situations can be replaced:

• hygienic wet wipes-napkins impregnated with anti-inflammatory and anesthetic compounds (for example, Asept baby wipes);
• teething toys: they work well for moderate to low symptoms.

Dentokind

German multicomponent preparation for the relief of toothache in infants during teething. It is produced in white tablets with a sweetish taste, odorless, which easily dissolve in water.

Dentokind has a natural plant and mineral composition.

The therapeutic effect is provided by:

• pharmacy chamomile - antiseptic, anti-inflammatory agent;
• belladonna;
• meadow lumbago - sedative and analgesic effect.

The mineral component is represented by:

• hepar sulfur - sedative effect;
• hydrated iron - anti-inflammatory effect.

If we compare it with Dantinorm, then the list of advantages of Dentokind can be included:

• the ability to relieve otalgia - pain in the ears, sometimes occurring during teething;
• the possibility of continuous use during the week;
• long shelf life (5 years);
• when choosing Dentokind, the problem is solved with less financial losses.

At the same time, the remedy has a more extensive list of contraindications: it should not be taken by children with:

• lactose intolerance;
• violations of the processes of absorption and breakdown of carbohydrates;
• due to enzyme deficiency (lack of lactase).

In the ability to cause an allergic reaction, the drugs are equivalent.

Many are alarmed by the presence in the list of ingredients of belladonna, known for its narcotic properties, and hepar sulfur, which is usually prescribed for pathologies of the nervous system.

The use of Dentokid, when it comes to an infant of the 1st year of life, is associated with certain difficulties: the tablet must be dissolved in water and only then given to the child. It is not always possible to fulfill the requirements regarding the reception mode (in 30 minutes. before or 40 minutes after eating).

There is also a short duration of action of the drug, which is only 3-4 hours, and the need for a 20-minute wait for the therapeutic effect.

Viburcol

Rectal suppositories (Germany), which have a wider list of indications for use than Dantinorm. They are recommended to be used not only for teething, but also for colds or infectious diseases, such as antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, an agent with mild sedative effect.

The preparation contains natural plant and mineral components. Among them there are chamomile, belladonna, other plant extracts, of the minerals, calcium is the most important, which will speed up and facilitate the eruption process.

The homeopathic remedy is positioned by the manufacturer as safe and without any age restrictions.

In comparison with Dantinorm, the advantages of Viburkol include:

• low likelihood of adverse reactions;
• the ability to use suppositories even when the baby flatly refuses to take the medicine orally;
• the ability to quickly and safely reduce the temperature in heat;
• lower cost.

This drug is not applicable if the eruption process is accompanied by diarrhea, moreover, sometimes suppositories themselves can cause diarrhea. The tool also cannot be used in case of hypersensitivity to its components.

NatraBio

An American drug designed for children from 4 months old to relieve unwanted symptoms that appear during teething. Contains a herbal complex (the main ingredient is chamomile extract), which provides a sedative effect and, by strengthening the child's immunity, prevents the development of infection.

In comparison with Dantinorm, this drug has the following attractive properties:

• is able to quickly relieve inflammation and normalize sleep;
• mobilizes the body's defenses;
• provides a long-term effect of pain relief (according to customer reviews, it is enough for 12 hours);
• the presence of a pipette dispenser, thanks to which the product is consumed sparingly and lasts for a long time.

Particularly noticeable disadvantages include the lack of a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect and the inconvenience of use: the product must be dripped under the tongue and wait 15 minutes without swallowing it, which in the case of a naughty baby is 4-5 months old problematic.

Many are alarmed by the presence in the composition of the drug (in micro doses!) Sodium Benzoate - a strong allergen that can accumulate in the body.

Another "minus" - this drug is not sold in pharmacies, it can be purchased only through iHerb (an American online store selling organic products, including homeopathic drugs).

Chamokid

The tool, developed by Israeli specialists, is designed for children from the age of 3 months. The main indication for use is pain during teething. The drug is available in the form of an oily liquid with a honey flavor, packaged in vials equipped with a pipette-dispenser. The preparation contains a herbal complex based on chamomile extract.

Compared to Dantinorm, he:

• can be used up to 10 times a day;
• kept open for 2 months;
• has about the same efficiency;
• used more sparingly;
• less convenient to use;
• after taking and before feeding, at least half an hour should pass, since the product cannot be mixed with milk.
• difficult to find in pharmacies.

Dantinorm Baby (analogs can be cheaper pain relievers) are often replaced with anesthetic gels.

Among them are the following:

Means	Description
Kamistad.	The German drug, intended for children from the age of 3 months, contains 2 active substances: chamomile extract - is able to stop the inflammatory process, quickly restore gum tissue; polidocanol is a local anesthetic with a milder effect than lidocaine. By reducing the sensitivity of the gums, it will provide an analgesic effect. In comparison with Dentinorm, this tool has the following advantages: guaranteed efficiency instant action; the ability to use as needed; a wider list of indications: the gel can be used for a number of diseases of the oral cavity, for children and adults. Also, the positive characteristics of the drug include: a convenient tube with a dispenser that ensures an economical use of the product; pleasant honey taste and smell; optimal gel texture (does not spread, easy to apply). At the same time, Kamistad gives a pronounced, but short-lived effect: the feeling of "freezing" lasts no more than 40 minutes, and after an hour the baby starts to be capricious again. According to the instructions, the next time the gel can be used only after 6-8 hours, so the problem remains unresolved.
Bebl gel	Gel from the pharmaceutical company Lavena (Bulgaria), created on the basis of medicinal plants: chamomile extract; rose hips; stevia; sage. They have anti-inflammatory, sedative, anesthetic effects. In addition, the gel contains sodium hyaluronate, which increases tissue elasticity, facilitates and accelerates the eruption process. Unlike previous products, Bebl Gel has undergone clinical trials to determine its effectiveness, during which it was proved that in 86% of cases it gives a pronounced therapeutic the effect. The drug is safe for children of any age. In comparison with Dantinorm it has the following advantages: clinically proven effectiveness; presence in the composition of stevia, which provides antifungal and antimicrobial properties of the drug; the ability not only to relieve unpleasant symptoms, but also to speed up the healing process of the gums; unlimited application time; almost instant analgesic effect; economic use: a 20 ml tube will last for a long time; cheapness. At the same time, Beble Gel loses significantly to Dantinorm: in ease of use; the need to maintain an interval of 20 minutes. between applying the gel and the next meal; the inability to take the pea-sized amount of gel recommended by the manufacturer: too much is squeezed out at once and the excess has to be thrown away.
Calgel.	Dental gel (Poland) can be used for symptomatic treatment of teething from 3 months of age. The preparation contains 2 active substances: cetylpyridinium chloride, which provides an antiseptic effect and eliminates gum inflammation; lidocaine, which is a local anesthetic that takes over the pain relief function. Kalgel significantly outperforms Dantinorm in: efficiency; the speed of manifestation of the therapeutic effect (after a few minutes); the possibility of repeated use (repeated application of the gel is possible after 20 minutes, but no more than 6 times a day). At the same time, the presence of lidocaine in the composition of the drug, which poses a potential danger to the baby, is its serious drawback. The disadvantages also include: short duration of action (no more than 1 hour); the possibility of side effects (in case of overdose), which are manifested by a temporary decrease in the sensitivity of the gums and difficulties with feeding.
Dentinox.	Dental gel from Germany is intended for children from 3 months old, contains: chamomile extract, which relieves inflammation; lidocaine, a local anesthetic; lauromacrogol, which enhances the effect of lidocaine and allows you to reduce its amount to a minimum. The tool can be applied 3 times a day, but, according to customer reviews, 2 applications are enough to make the child stop worrying. The therapeutic effect manifests itself in 2-3 minutes, the gel first causes a slight feeling of numbness, which disappears after 10-15 minutes, and the analgesic effect lasts for several hours. The tool significantly surpasses Dantinorm in efficiency: it is consumed more economically, it will cost less, it can be used for a long time. However, in terms of composition, Dentinox loses, although the manufacturer indicates that lidocaine is present in it in doses that are not dangerous for the child.
Holisal Pansoral First teeth	Gel made in Poland contains: choline salicylate, which provides anesthetic and antipyretic effect; cetalkonium chloride, which has anti-bending, antiviral, antibacterial properties. Compared to Dantinorm: provides a faster effect: it takes only 2-3 minutes; used more economically; has the same action time - about 8 hours. The disadvantage is the presence of alcohol in the composition and a slight burning sensation caused by it immediately after application to the gums. Another disadvantage is that the product can only be used from the age of 1 year.
Pansoral First teeth	A multicomponent gel from France containing a herbal complex that includes: chamomile; marshmallow; saffron; Irish moss. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a remedy that eliminates gum inflammation, has anesthetic and antiseptic effect. Compared to Dantinorm: has a more diverse plant composition, providing a comprehensive effect on the body; gives a quick and clearly visible analgesic effect; is economically spent. The disadvantages include the presence of parabens in the composition of the product and the absence of instructions for use in Russian in the package.

Price of funds

When choosing a specific drug, first of all, you need to look at its composition and mechanism of action. However, the price is one of the most important criteria. At the same time, you should not be guided solely by the number on the price tag: it is necessary to take into account the volume of the package and the number of days for which it will be enough. Otherwise, the acquisition of a cheap tool can end up being a big expense.
