None of my children would ever take the frozen teething rings, so when teeth time came it could be miserable - until a friend suggested frozen waffels. Cut into quarters, this little beauties worked great. Now, Eggos had a leggo brand frozen waffel that comen in little precut shapes - perfect for little hands.

I tried the orajel (not sure of spelling) and my son screamed like a banshee. Later I had an occasion to use it myself and I understood immediately his reaction. It felt like my whole face went numb. Bad enough when you know what is going on. Completely frightening when you can't understand.
