Teething 12 month old - would you let him cry it out at night?

My DS has been teething for over a month (back teeth) but is waking up about 5 times per night every night, usually, 11pm, midnight, 1, 2 and then 5, and if he doesn't fancy going back to sleep then that's it, he wants to get up. This has been going on for 3 weeks.

DH and I take turns to go into him and put a dummy back in (he usually throws it out of the cot then cries), make sure he is ok temperature wise and that he's not gone over on his front (he can't seem to roll back - has always hated it on his tummy). But, I am wondering if this is now a habit rather than teething and him thinking if I throw my dummy, mummy will come in to me. I don't know what to do. Carry on going in until I know the teething is definitely over, or let him cry and settle himself hoping that the habit will be broken.

We are exhausted and I'm finding it very hard to function at work.

Be so grateful for any advice

Thanks you.

Have you tried giving him Calpol/teething gel to help him cope with teething pain if you think that's what it is?
