Teething fevers

[Snowmom]

Hmm, not the info I got. I will ask questions and see. I send home if the fever is not low grade.

Everything you described in your policy sounds a lot like the Baby Center article here:

I also am a firm believer that teething does not cause significant fevers or diarrhea.

But regardless, as providers, we exclude for the symptoms, not the cause.

It doesn't matter what is causing the fever. Child is not well and needs to go home.

Yes the child with a fever needs to go home as too hard to deal with a sick kid- sometimes hard to deal with when they are fine without having a fever too

I send home at 101 regardless, or a lower grade fever with lethargy or inability to participate in the program. Teething fevers are not generally 102 degress, more of a lower grade fever.

After reading through the thread, it's clear that dental floss is not a boring topic! It's encouraging to see people discussing their oral hygiene routines and sharing tips. However, it's important to note that while flossing is crucial for dental health, it's not a substitute for regular visits to the dentist. If you're looking for a dentist in Calgary SE, research and find a qualified professional who can help keep your teeth and gums in top shape.
