Aquafresh Milk Teeth Toothpaste 0-2 Years 50ml

Product Information

Who is it for: For babies 0-2 years with at least one erupted tooth. Everyday sugar acids can cause tooth decay and cavities, and because enamel on milk teeth is up to 50%thinner than adults’, they need extra care. Aquafresh Milk Teeth toothpaste is gentle on your baby’s teeth and has a mild flavour which makes it a perfect choice. 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 Thanks to its mild minty taste and specially designed formula for keeping milk teeth clean and strong, we think the Aquafresh Milk Teeth is the best baby toothpaste to buy right now. It’s a great first toothpaste for introducing young children to the mint flavour typically found in toothpaste and it contains the right amount of fluoride for preventing tooth decay. How we chose our recommendations Macleans Milk Teeth Kids Toothpaste provides special care through Sugar Acid Protection* to strengthen and actively defend Milk Teeth against cavity-causing sugars. They've also got a child friendly taste. Brush your baby’s teeth around the same time each day and night to encourage them to see dental hygiene as a part of everyday life.

Not all children like having their teeth brushed, so you may have to keep trying. Make it into a game, or brush your own teeth at the same time and then help your child finish their own. From around five or six, their milk teeth will slowly be replaced by stronger permanent teeth, building their smile for life. A big kid toothbrush, such as our Aquafresh Big Teeth Toothbrush, has a mixture of long and short bristles that will help to clean these teeth of many sizes. And with a larger handle that’s easy to grip, your kids can now start to take control of their smile. 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. Brush the teeth in small circles, covering all the surfaces, and encourage your child to spit the toothpaste out afterwards.

It's particularly important not to let your child have acidic or sweet drinks before bedtime, as the body's natural defence processes don't work as well when they are asleep. Only give your child water to drink before going to bed. Rinses should be used at different times to brushing to avoid washing the toothpaste off your teeth, as this reduces the beneficial effects of the fluoride in the toothpaste. Fluoride varnish The benefits of fluoride are proven by longitudinal studies: research into water fluoridation for over 60 years has shown to reduce tooth decay by 40-60%. 2 How Fluoride Helps Prevent Tooth Decay How does it work: Aquafresh Little Teeth toothpaste formulation is highly effective at delivering fluoride to enamel surfaces and helping remineralize early enamel lesions, thereby strengthening little teeth from the inside out.

This can lead to fluorosis, which is the appearance of little white spots or discolourations on their teeth.Take your child with you when you go for your own dental appointments so they get used to the idea.

It involves painting a varnish that contains high levels of fluoride onto the surface of the tooth every 6 months to prevent decay. Some children may need this more often. It works by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Adults: toothpaste should contain 1,350-1,500ppm fluoride – like Aquafresh Complete Care Toothpaste
