Aquafresh Milk Teeth Toothpaste 0-2 Years 50ml

Product Information

Fluoride is a natural ingredient found in water and many foods, and it helps to protect teeth from decay and make them stronger. The reason children’s toothpaste has less fluoride is to prevent them from ingesting too much. This can lead to fluorosis, which is the appearance of little white spots or discolourations on their teeth. Once they get past the age of three, they’ll need a new toothpaste that can offer more protection for their enamel, like our Little Teethtoothpaste for children between three and five years old. It's fine to give your baby a dummy but avoid using them after 12 months of age. Using dummies after this can encourage an open bite, which is when teeth move to make space for the dummy. They may also affect your child's speech development. Children aged 7 and over should be able to brush their own teeth, but it's still a good idea to watch them to make sure they brush properly and for about 2 minutes. How to help children brush their teeth properly It is added to oral care products as it helps prevent against tooth decay. For the same reason, drinking water is sometimes fortified with extra fluoride – a process known as fluoridation. 1

This can make a huge difference when it comes to your child letting you brush their teeth. Baby toothpastes are milder than normal ones and tend to come in mint, bubble gum and fruity flavours. If they don’t like any of those, you can opt for an unflavoured toothpaste, such as oraNurse. Natural ingredients Don't worry if you don't manage to brush much at first.
