Please don't burn me at the stake, but you could always just pop your finger in a bit of brandy/whisky and apply that to the gums. NOT MUCH, just like a half a drop. It takes the feeling out of the gums. My grandmother/mother swore on it. I did not try it with my own bubba, but she was big enough to have the usual teething remedies.

Hope those teeth come thru real soon poor bubba

Goodluck!!
