Toothbrushes for children: age of the child

The mouth and teeth of a one-year-old are not those of a seven-year-old. As with clothes, we choose a toothbrush that is perfect for the age, the best toothbrushes show the indicative age on the package.

Up to one year, no toothbrush or toothpaste: the teethers that children use relieve the discomfort of growing teeth and also clean them. If we prefer to be very thorough, we use a finger toothbrush.

From one to two years we can start using the toothbrush, for now no toothpaste yet. Mom and dad will have to clean the teeth and the little one will study how to do it by becoming familiar with the toothbrush.

After two years - better around three years - with the supervision of mom and dad, the child begins to brush his teeth alone, using a toothbrush and toothpaste .

Toothbrushes for children: functionality and ergonomics

Check the bristles, head and handle carefully.

The bristles must be soft , the teeth of the little ones are delicate and the gums too. The head must be small , the mouth and teeth are small, let's choose a toothbrush that does not bother and reaches everywhere. The handle must be suitable for the grip of a child of the age to which it is addressed, therefore not too big.

Toothbrushes for children, color and fun

The toothbrush must be comfortable , colorful, fun and cute so that cleaning becomes a pleasant moment together with mom and dad. Brushing your teeth will be a game! The ideal would be to let him choose. among the toothbrushes with the right characteristics.

How to choose the right toothpaste for our child?

Considering that toothpaste is a cosmetic product for daily use and that it comes into contact with mucous membranes and in addition there is the real possibility of ingestion, we must make some important considerations.

Conventional toothpastes often use irritating and aggressive substances that are potentially harmful if ingested, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) , parabens, petrolatum, silicones and others.

They are synthetic chemical excipients, foaming surfactants, which serve no other purpose than to make toothpaste foamier. In addition to these substances , colorants, strong aromas and many sweeteners are often added , even potentially carcinogenic and allergenic, which induce children to swallow and then eat them. Some conventional cosmetic companies also include medicinal substances in the formula that could be ingested in excessive quantities: fluoride, chlorhexidine, triclosan.

Organic Toothpastes for children are the 100% safe and 100% natural alternative for proper oral hygiene, from an early age!

They are safe in case of accidental ingestion, they have a delicate and modulated taste to make the moment of cleaning the teeth pleasant but without being excessive, they do not contain sugars and colorants, they do not contain fluoride, which if necessary is best prescribed by the pediatrician in other forms.

To choose the right toothpaste bio for children we must pay particular attention to the age and remember when using it to put only a small amount on the toothbrush.
