Aquafresh Milk Teeth Toothpaste 0-2 Years 50ml

Product Information

Brush the teeth in small circles, covering all the surfaces, and encourage your child to spit the toothpaste out afterwards. There's no need to rinse with water, as this will wash away the fluoride. Children over 7 and adults should brush at least twice daily with a toothpaste containing 1,350-1,500ppm fluoride. Water fluoridation is an important tool in combatting tooth decay, especially in children. In the UK, it’s a leading cause of children’s hospital admissions, despite being easily prevented with a good oral care routine. 1 Most water supplies contain some fluoride and in the early 20th century, levels of tooth decay were found to be associated with fluoride levels in drinking water.

The NHS advises that parents use a smear of fluoride toothpaste for babies and toddlers up to the age of three. Baby toothpaste should have a minimum of 1,000ppm (parts per million) of fluoride, while a family toothpaste should have between 1,350ppm and 1,5000ppm. You can begin brushing your baby's teeth as soon as they start to come through. So, ideally, you should start a consistent brushing routine as soon as you can. While it's likely you’ll be doing most of the brushing at first, getting your baby used to brushing will encourage them to become independent and value the importance of taking care of their teeth. Explore our tips for creating a consistent and engaging brushing routine below: When a baby cuts their first tooth, it’s one of the first milestones in their life. Not only do they have a cute toothy grin to show off, but it’s also time to start brushing their teeth. Starting now will help teeth to grow healthy and strong, and ensure that your child develops good habits that will last a lifetime. If they clamp their mouth shut, try to make toothbrushing fun by playing games or singing songs. Don’t worry if you don’t do much brushing to begin with as it’s more important that they get used to their new routine. Be gentle as teething babies may have sore gums. Which baby toothpaste is best?

Do this twice a day. Always follow the label directions.With lots of different options catered to baby and toddler teeth – from fluoride-free and organic toothpastes to fruity-tasting and even unflavoured – it can be overwhelming to know which product is the best for your baby. Why choose: Little teeth are more vulnerable than adult ones, so they need extra care. Aquafresh Little Teeth toothpaste is specially designed by experts to provide gentle care for your child's teeth to help ensure their adult teeth come through healthy and strong. Evidence shows that water fluoridation has added benefits, even if we use oral care products that also contain the mineral. Studies have shown that children who grow up drinking fluoridated water alongside using fluoride toothpaste and other fluoride products and treatments were less likely to be affected by tooth decay than those who used fluoride oral care products but did not have access to fluoridated water. 3

Therefore, it’s a great idea to start using fluoride toothpaste from the moment your children’s first teeth come through. Choose a toothpaste formulated especially for kids, with age-appropriate fluoride levels, as adult toothpaste can contain too much fluoride and taste too strong to small children. 1 How Much Fluoride Can Children Have?
