chinese baby 208671 640 Various Toothpaste and Toothbrush Choices for BabiesI had written a post on why dental hygiene is important for a baby even in her early days. This post is about the various toothpaste and toothbrush choices for babies available in India/online stores.

Usually the baby brush has soft bristles , good grip and are compact . I started with finger brush for Anshika and later on moved to the baby brush .

As per the pediatricians , babies under 2 years do not need any toothpaste. A simple brushing with warm / plain water is enough . Majority of the toothpaste in the market are loaded with fluorides in a higher concentration which is not suitable for babies. But if you baby’s mouth is smelly or has bad breath , you can start using toothpaste with low fluoride levels.
