Yes: Exactly follow dosing instructions on the package. Know also that it is recommended that all children have 1st examination at age 1 or eruption of 1st tooth. See a Pediatric Dental Spcialist (Pedodontist) for same reasons you see a Pediatric Medical Specialist (Pediatrician). Pedodontist the best specialist to help your child manage teething.
