Pack them in your treatment tool-chest as a delightful alternative tool for young patients and older patients alike. P's & Q's are made of the same FDA compliant material as all our Chewy Tubes and offer a safe, non-toxic durable surface for biting and chewing activities. They are latex-free and do not contain PVC or phthalates. P's and Q's are solid rather than tubular so they offer a firmer surface for biting than the red or yellow Chewy Tubes. Young patients enjoy grasping the P with their newly developing fine motor skills. The bitable stem of the P reaches back into the molar region sending appropriate proprioceptive input into the TMJ as the patient practices biting. Babies enjoy the Q extension for tongue exploration. For larger jaws, the larger Q offers a firm bilateral surface for jaw closure activities. | | | Features: | |
• Made of the same FDA compliant material as all the Chewy Tubes products
• Lead free and latex free and do not contain PVC or phthalates
• Chewy Tubes® last for thousands of chews. However, it is recommended that Chewy Tubes® be inspected before each use and replaced when signs of wear become visible

 essential for teething babies!!!Dec 09, 2009
By Christina Stein
I bought these for my 7 month old son who was teething with a vengeance and he loves them. They are perfect for holding and moving around. I even put them in the freezer so they are even more soothing for his sore gum's.

Good tool for biting...Jan 08, 2010
By C. Johnson
The Ps and Qs were recommended to me by my son's daycare. He started biting at 12 months of age, far to young to understand the standard biting protocol at the daycare which is timeout and verbal statement "We don't bite our friends". He was teething at the time which did not help. He does not bite to get stuff, and seemed to bite in times of frustration. He likes to be alone or off to the side of a group, so when the teacher set him into the middle of the class, he would bite while trying to crawl over to another place to sit. He has been wearing the P or Q on a pacifier attacher almost every day at school for several months. Having something available to chew on seems to distract him from chewing on other kids. Now that he is old enough to understand the words "No biting" (18 months), we use the words and give him something to chew on, either the P or Q.
He does not have a preference for P or Q and seems to chew on both equally. They are very durable and show basically no wear after almost six months of use during daycare hours only. He does not bite at home or church, so we only use the Ps and Qs at daycare. He is still a biter, but now he is in a class with one other biter and they pretty much bite the Ps and Qs or each other and leave the nonbiting kids alone. Within a week of using the Ps and Qs, our number of bites per day dropped dramatically.
My first son never bit anything, but used a pacifier until he was 2. This whole biting situation has been extremely frustrating for us, but the Ps and Qs really seemed to help.

Sensory IntegrationAug 17, 2011
By Matthew Levien
Our son has Sensory Integration disorder and the Q has been a life saver as the window sill in his room is completely chewed down to the metal guard. This has been very helpful in reducing his finger and toe biting issues also.

Awesome for teethers as wellDec 07, 2009
By Sheila
"Sheila"
A few months ago, a woman who was a speech therapist gave me a "Q" while I was at a restaurant with my baby. She told me to hold off giving it to her until 4 months of age, which I did. My daughter is eight months old now, and since she was 4 months old, this is her favorite thing to chew on, by far. I realize its not marketed as a teether, but it is awesome as a teether. The Q shape is easy for her to grab onto and hold, and the little nub is just enough for hitting different areas of her gums. I have since purchased another set since we use it so much, its great to have two lying around.

mom of three toddlersNov 04, 2008
By mom of 3 under 3
"mommy3"
"These are great for my son. Since chewing them, he no longer chews on our various items throughout the house. He cannot choke on the P's and Q's because of their design and they offer great proprioceptive stimulation for him."
