Abstract:
Purpose:> To determine the level of knowledge and attitudes of parents regarding teething signs and symptom. Methods: A 55-question survey was administered to 120 parents of children aged six to 36 months who sought care from April 2021 to April 2022 at the Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. The questionnaire investigated parents' sociodemographic characteristics, their knowledge about the teething process, which signs and symptoms they observed and their approaches toward them. Results: The mean duration of teething was 7.5±1.9 (standard deviation) months (minimum=four months; maximum=15 months). The most common sign or symptom observed during teething was restlessness (87.5 percent). There was no significant relationship between the level of teething knowledge and the socioeconomic status of the families. Conclusion: Parents' knowledge levels about teething process could be increased.
