Medical - Medical: Dentistry
French term or phrase: poussées dentaires
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
