Does the use of a pacifier affect a baby's teething?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Little babies, especially newborns, need the help of pacifiers even more. Whenever they feel tired, fussy, or try to adapt to new and unfamiliar environments, they need a lot of special comfort and care. If other soothing methods, such as food, rocking, patting their back, a mother's gentle embrace, soft music, or singing, are not enough to calm their fussiness and help them relax, then it's time to consider using a pacifier.
