Most parents believe that teething is associated with some symptoms and commonly use Internet to gain more information about the health of their children. Pediatricians can also serve as a source of information for health-related requirements of parents. This study aimed to compare the information provided by pediatricians regarding tooth eruption and the information available in Persian-language websites.
This descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study was performed in two phases. In the first phase, the questionnaire was designed by 85 pediatric pediatricians in Isfahan about children's dental eruption and internet resources. The second phase was the study of 22 Persian websites about children's tooth eruption using Google search engine and the keywords "tooth eruption," "tooth eruption symptoms." Then a checklist was prepared to evaluate the quality and completeness of the content. Data were analyzed by the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test using SPSS ( < 0.05).
None of the retrieved websites had the health on the net code of conduct. The most common symptoms of teething reported by both pediatricians and websites included irritability, drooling, gingival tenderness, chewing tendency, decreased appetite and sleep disturbances. In non-pharmacological methods to control the symptoms related to tooth eruption in both groups, embracing the baby ( < 0.001), using soft tooth ring ( = 0.049) and chewing hard foods (0.016 = significant. Use of oral pain medication ( = 0.01) and sedatives and medications ( = 0.04) were significant in the medication method.
None of the websites reviewed had a valid source code and author. Although websites cannot replace the instructions of pediatricians regarding growth and development of children and their teething, supplementary information can be acquired from high-quality websites because there seems to be no significant difference between these two information sources regarding tooth eruption symptoms and their management.
大多数家长认为出牙与一些症状有关，并且通常会利用互联网获取更多关于孩子健康的信息。儿科医生也可以作为家长健康相关需求的信息来源。本研究旨在比较儿科医生提供的关于牙齿萌出的信息与波斯语网站上的可用信息。
本描述性、分析性横断面研究分两个阶段进行。第一阶段，由伊斯法罕的85名儿科医生设计关于儿童牙齿萌出和互联网资源的问卷。第二阶段是使用谷歌搜索引擎和关键词“牙齿萌出”“牙齿萌出症状”对22个关于儿童牙齿萌出的波斯语网站进行研究。然后准备一份清单来评估内容的质量和完整性。使用SPSS通过卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验对数据进行分析（<0.05）。
检索到的网站均未具备网络健康行为准则。儿科医生和网站报告的出牙最常见症状包括易怒、流口水、牙龈压痛、咀嚼倾向、食欲下降和睡眠障碍。在两组中，控制与牙齿萌出相关症状的非药物方法中，拥抱婴儿（<0.001）、使用软牙环（=0.049）和咀嚼硬食物（=0.016）有显著意义。在药物方法中，使用口服止痛药（=0.01）和镇静剂及药物（=0.04）有显著意义。
所审查的网站均没有有效的源代码和作者。虽然网站不能取代儿科医生关于儿童生长发育及其出牙的指导，但可以从高质量网站获取补充信息，因为在牙齿萌出症状及其管理方面，这两个信息来源似乎没有显著差异。
