A child is 2 years old and is particularly active and likes to bite. What's going on?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This is very normal. Children find everything new and are naturally active and playful. Biting is because they are teething, and the gums are itchy, so they need to bite things to relieve the itching. You can give the child hard foods like peas, nuts, walnuts, peanuts, etc., to help with the new teeth coming in.
