As parents, it's your job to have a million questions. Or even a million and one: Have you been wondering how soon is too soon to start brushing your baby's teeth? Well, good habits can start early. Very early. Getting a head start on healthy teeth can help establish good habits that last a lifetime. You can rely on Aquafresh® Training Paste, which was specially designed to help clean your baby's developing teeth.
Everyone loves a baby's smile! Give them one more reason to with Aquafresh®.
Here's what you can expect from Aquafresh® Training Fluoride-Free Toothpaste:
No artificial colors or preservatives.
Fluoride-free.
Natural flavors only.
When your baby is about six months old, you may notice the first baby teeth will begin pushing through the surface of the gum. However, teeth can sometimes appear as early as three months or as late as twelve months. Your infant may show some of these normal symptoms beforehand:
Swollen gums
Flushed cheeks
Increased dribbling
Irritability
Brushing should begin as soon as baby teeth start coming in. Our dental experts developed a special training toothpaste. It’s fluoride-free with no artificial colors or preservatives and safe to swallow when used as directed. Unlike regular toothpaste, it’s less abrasive and has a baby-friendly apple-banana flavor.
AT-WILL FEEDING
Sticking to a schedule will help your baby’s teeth avoid decay. At-will feeding can stop once the first baby teeth begin to erupt and your child starts eating foods other than breast milk.
DRINKING FROM A BOTTLE
Sugary juices and drinks can promote tooth decay. That’s why only milk and water should be put in a child’s bottle. At bedtime, it’s important to only use water because overnight exposure to the sugars in milk can cause cavities too.
If your child wants a sugary drink, try to limit it to mealtimes. Use a cup and a straw angled away from the teeth so the drink goes straight to the back of the mouth.
