kitten teething...

[jlc20m]

my 12-week old bella is teething. i'm wondering what i can do to help her feel better until all her teeth come in. she's getting 99% wet food (she only very occasionally eats dry) and has a lot of toys to play with that she can chew . i also gently smear kitty toothpaste (poultry flavor) on her teeth and gums every day. is there anything else that i can do for her? thank you in advance for your help!

I used to put their toys that they chewed in the fridge for a couple of hours (Not the freezer!)

Time I'm afraid.  If she will chew on something like a raw chicken wing that will help, and keep an eye that she is still eating & drinking.  My kitten Lola stopped when she was teething and was in my friend's cattery and ended up at her vets for 3 nights.  She had double canine teeth at the time!  She was fine after a few days of extra care and feeding.

Never, ever give cooked chicken bones as they are brittle and will break into sharp splinters when bitten.
