Teething....3 year old?

[milano]

J has been chewing on everything. I asked him if his teeth hurt and he said yes, they do, and that "chewing will help me feel better". I don't know what to give him to chew on? I hate to just give him Motrin because he's acting fine otherwise. Would he chew a hole in a silicone teether? Is this normal at three years old? I thought maybe molars but it seems to be the front of his mouth.

H went through this (it was molars, I think), and I got him a chew stick. If you search Amazon there are about a million options.

(There are lots that are meant to stand up to rigorous chewing)

Not the same, but O chews everything when he's anxious. I got him one of those silicone sensory chew necklaces on Amazon and it works well. This is the one we have but there are tons of options

SAKs link showed me the one I got for H. He wore it at daycare for awhile when he couldn't keep his hands out of his mouth.

Does he actually wear it? R does the same thing and chews holes in her leggings, and anything with a strap. I've been trying to find something that she'll actually carry with her

I made him wear it to school after he chewed the zippers off of 2 different jackets. He hasn't used it as much since summer started though. I should make him put it back on though because he's putting holes in the collars of all of his tshirts

Thanks OR, I just ordered one. I had no idea they made ones for older kids/adults!
ETA and sak! All the other responses loaded as I was looking on Amazon. Stupid mobile, tapa would have updated me.
