Abstract: A child's teething aid article includes a teething portion constructed and arranged in the form of a helical coil spring from a cord-like length of resilient, nontoxic plastic material jacketing a flexible core member. The coil spring has an exterior diameter adapted to be received in the mouth of the child and presents a resilient mechanical force additional to the resilience of the material, against the compressive bite of the child applied normal to the coil spring axis. The teething portion is connected to a one or two part handle portion for manipulation of the article.
