The Dentist-Designed Teething Remedy Parents Can Trust
By Dr Jack Brazel BChD · Reviewed by Dr John Krezel, Specialist Prosthodontist
Find out why two dentists decided parents deserve science, not guesswork when it comes to teething products for their baby.
We know teething can be a difficult time. Sleepless nights, sore gums, and endless advice can leave any parent feeling overwhelmed. If you have ever stood in front of the teething section, wondering which remedy actually works for your baby, you’re not alone.
From our friends and patients, we kept hearing the same thing: “We just don’t know what to trust anymore.”
Every product promises to help, yet many rely on ingredients or ideas that have not changed in decades. All that confusion is what led us to create MamaSmiles®, a teething remedy made by dental professionals who know teeth inside out.
What we saw in the teething aisle…
Most baby teething remedies on the market fall into two camps. Some promise quick comfort but do not actively help soothe gums. Others are labelled as herbal or homeopathic, which sounds gentle, but these formulas are not always backed by science.
As dentists, we wanted to change that. We knew parents deserved something that was both gentle and grounded in real dental science.
Bringing dental science into teething care
Teething is not an illness to treat; it’s a natural stage of your baby’s growth and development that deserves proper support. When we looked at what truly supports new teeth as they come through, one ingredient stood out: hydroxyapatite.
Hydroxyapatite might sound like a lab word, but it’s actually a natural mineral that makes up most of our teeth. We use it in our products because it helps support and protect developing teeth, without the harsh ingredients.
It’s real dental science made gentle for babies, and MamaSmiles® is the only teething brand that includes it.
Alongside hydroxyapatite, our products contain soothing natural ingredients such as: aloe vera, chamomile, and turmeric (curcumin) to help calm gums during teething. Turmeric’s curcumin component is widely recognised for its calming properties, which makes it a perfect partner to the science-led ingredients in our remedy.
Why evidence matters – especially for your baby’s oral health
We respect that herbal and homeopathic products have a place for many families. They often come from a genuine desire for something natural and safe. We share that goal.
The difference is that our formula is both gentle and evidence-based, so parents do not have to choose between nature and science. As dentists, we see every day how powerful good science can be in oral health, and we believe babies should have that same standard of care.
Confidence for parents through every teething stage
Our mission with MamaSmiles® is simple: to take the confusion out of teething care. Parents should not have to guess which product to trust or wonder what is really in it.
We designed MamaSmiles® to give families calm, confidence, and clarity, backed by the same science we use in our clinics every day.
When baby is happy, so is Mum. That is why we called it MamaSmiles® – because every calm moment deserves a smile.
