🦷👶🏻 Looking after little teeth starts before the first tooth even appears!
Did you know that gently cleaning your baby’s gums with a soft, damp cloth can help keep their mouth healthy from the very beginning?
Once that first tooth arrives, it’s time to start brushing twice a day with a smear of fluoride toothpaste.
A few key tips:
✨ Start brushing as soon as the first tooth appears
✨ Use a toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles
✨ Choose a fluoride toothpaste suitable for babies and young children (with no less than 1000ppm fluoride)
✨ Avoid putting babies to bed with milk or juice in a bottle
✨ Make brushing part of your daily routine from the start
Those tiny baby teeth may be temporary, but they’re incredibly important for eating, speech development, and guiding adult teeth into position.
Healthy habits started early can last a lifetime! 🪥⭐️
