Dental care supplies for babies 2-6 months

2-month-old period

When your baby is 2 months old, starting to enjoy sucking his hands, parents should let the baby use a silicone brush that is designed like a gums toy.

This type of toothbrush is made of silicone so it is very safe for your baby and also easy to sterilize. When your baby learns to hold and observe objects, he will instinctively bring the brush to his mouth to gnaw and learn to rub the brush tip.

3-4 months old period

When the baby is about 3-4 months, holding more proficiently, parents can let the baby use a silicone-coated long-rolled brush to make the baby stir in his mouth.

Babies do not have teeth, so the brush only brushes the tongue and gums, but the very soft silicone head only massages the baby's jaw, not hurting. However, during this time, the baby is still lying down, so the mother must carefully supervise and adjust as needed so that the baby does not stick the toothbrush too deep into the mouth.

The mother still shows her tongue or helps her to clean her mouth with the finger brush because the baby's work just stops at the level of learning and practicing.

Your baby should still use the silicone brush but the brush is a little different. At this stage, the baby already has several baby teeth, so the brush is appropriately designed to help the baby with better oral hygiene without hurting the baby.

You should also note that a non-fluoride toothpaste is safer for your baby because it is entirely possible for your baby to swallow it while brushing.

The child's cognitive ability is higher and the baby knows to communicate quite well, this is the period when he or she needs to learn to brush teeth with detailed instructions from adults.

Parents can buy the same toothbrush as their child (but adult style) and brush their teeth with their children to model for the baby.

During this period, mothers should still use non-fluoride toothpaste in case the baby accidentally swallows toothpaste.

When the baby is 1.5-3 years old

At this time, the baby has better brushing, so he can let his baby hit alone under adult supervision. Brushes with good cartoon characters can play music for 1-2 minutes will be a great choice to encourage your baby to brush their teeth for the necessary time each time.

During this stage, your baby will need 2 types of brushes, which are home brushes and brushes when they go to class. With home brushes, mothers should continue to choose eye-catching shaped brushes, cartoon characters and good quality for babies to enjoy brushing.

When going to class, your baby will probably have to change many brushes after 1-2 months of use, you just need to pay attention to choose a brush that is not too expensive.
