Before anyone mentions it, there isn't really any surrounding context. This is from a document on a range of dental care and hygiene products and features in a table containing, in one column, a variety of 'ailments', and in the other column, the recommended products for the treatment there of.
'Ailments' include ulcers, lesions, gingivitis, bleeding and **poussées dentaires**.
Can anyone suggest a natural-sounding English translation for this please?
Many TIA

: Tho' TTBOMK it is only ever a problem for babies.//Ah, yes, if they are impacted it can be a problem, otherwise they just push through like all your other adult teeth that posed no problem.
