Aquafresh Milk Teeth Toothpaste 0-2 Years 50ml

Product Information

Macleans Milk Teeth Kids Toothpaste and Toothbrush help children's teeth grow up strong. Baby teeth are cute but they are also vulnerable, so as your child's first little tooth pops through, let the brushing begin, because good tooth-brushing habits can’t happen soon enough. Be sure to monitor your baby’s toothbrush for worn bristles and replace it at least every three months. Complete care contains advanced triple protection which ensures healthy gum, strong teeth and fresh breath for the family. Its unique formula works from the inside out by penetrating deep into teeth to keep them stronger for longer. Once all their milk teeth have arrived, a Sugar Acid Protection* paste like Aquafresh Little Teeth Toothpaste can help strengthen their smile and keep cavities away. You can also now use a bit more paste for each brush. Use a pea-size amount to cover all those tiny teeth.

These new permanent teeth will keep arriving over the following years, and even then, their surfaces can take up to three years to reach full strength. This is an important time for brushing, and a preteen toothbrush like our Aquafresh Advance Toothbrush can help bridge the gap to an adult brush. With a smaller head and mixed bristles designed for small mouths, and a flexible handle that helps kids brush away with less risk that they will damage their gums.

Studies have shown that children who grow up drinking fluoridated water alongside using fluoride toothpaste and other fluoride products and treatments were less likely to be affected by tooth decay than those who used fluoride oral care products but did not have access to fluoridated water. 3 When you visit the dentist, be positive about it and make the trip fun. This will stop your child worrying about future visits.

Indications

Brush the teeth in small circles, covering all the surfaces, and encourage your child to spit the toothpaste out afterwards. There's no need to rinse with water, as this will wash away the fluoride. Anti bacterial and antiseptic cleansing properties: fights plaque, protects and strengthens teeth and gums.

To help prevent tooth decay, a fluoride varnish can be applied by a dentist to both milk teeth and adult teeth. The varnish contains a high level of fluoride and should be applied twice a year. It may be applied 3 times a year for those who already have tooth decay or are at greater risk of developing it. 1 Fluoride mouth rinses can be prescribed for adults and children aged 8 and above who have tooth decay. They should be used every day, in addition to brushing twice daily with toothpaste containing at least 1,350ppm fluoride. It's OK to use bottles for expressed breast milk, formula milk, or cooled boiled water. But using them for juices or sugary drinks can increase tooth decay. How to take care of baby teeth: Oral hygiene is important from the youngest age. To reduce risk of tooth decay, twice-daily brushing is highly recommended. Withregular brushing, its low-abrasivity formula protects against cavities, strengthens enamel and gently cleans.Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has become a vital part of our oral care routines here in the UK. It is added to toothpastes, mouthwashes, and even drinking water 1 to help protect our dental health every day, without us having to add any extra steps into our daily lives. It is added to oral care products as it helps prevent against tooth decay. For the same reason, drinking water is sometimes fortified with extra fluoride – a process known as fluoridation. 1 Children’s toothpaste can be quite different to adult toothpaste, often containing less fluoride to minimise any risk of swallowing. Child-friendly flavours are used to encourage brushing and special foaming action helps to surround each tooth. This all helps keep their teeth and gums healthy as your child’s mouth develops. However, a condition called dental fluorosis can sometimes occur if a child's teeth are exposed to too much fluoride when they're developing.

Why choose Aquafresh: Baby teeth are more vulnerable than the adult ones, so they need extra care. Aquafresh Milk Teeth kids toothpaste is specially designed by dental experts to provide gentle care for baby teeth to help adult teeth come through healthy and strong. 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 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.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 Use a tiny smear of toothpaste for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old, and a pea-sized amount for children aged 3 to 6 years. It's fine to give your baby a dummy but avoid using them after 12 months of age. Using dummies after this can encourage an open bite, which is when teeth move to make space for the dummy. They may also affect your child's speech development.
