Teething sticks—also known as teething toys or teething rings—are made from safe, non-toxic silicone, with some parts constructed from soft plastic. They come in various shapes, including cartoon characters, pacifiers, and fruits, and are designed to gently massage the gums. Teething sticks help develop infants’ chewing and grasping skills. Babies typically begin using teething sticks around six months of age.
