Hyland’s Baby Oral Pain Relief

Important note on teething remedies

When I’m choosing teething or oral comfort products for babies, I focus on ingredient transparency and formulation. These products are used in the mouth and are often used during sensitive stages, so I pay attention to both the active and inactive ingredients that make up the tablet.

What I avoid / What I look for

I avoid artificial colors, petroleum-based ingredients, alcohol-based formulas, and synthetic preservative systems when possible. I also look closely at sweeteners and fillers and prefer products with short, clearly stated ingredient lists that don’t rely on unnecessary extras.

Product description

Hyland’s Baby Oral Pain Relief is a homeopathic product intended to support temporary relief of oral discomfort associated with teething. The tablets are designed to dissolve in the mouth, making them easy to administer during periods of gum sensitivity or irritability.

This formula does not rely on conventional over-the-counter pain relievers and keeps the overall ingredient profile simple.

Ingredients

The active ingredients are homeopathic preparations of arnica montana, calcarea carbonica, calcarea phosphorica, chamomilla (chamomile), coffea cruda, and ferrum phosphoricum.

Inactive ingredients are limited to acacia gum and lactose, which act as binders for the dissolvable tablet.

This product does not contain common OTC actives such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, benzocaine, dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, or phenylephrine. It also does not include artificial colors or synthetic dyes.

What I like

I like that the ingredient list is short and clearly stated, with no artificial colors, alcohol, or preservative blends. The dissolvable tablet format is simple, and the inactive ingredients are familiar and minimal.

Things to keep in mind

This is a homeopathic product, which means the active ingredients are prepared differently than conventional medicines and are highly diluted. As with any product used for infants, it’s important to follow directions and consider your child’s individual needs.
