How to Choose the Right Toothbrush and Toothpaste for Kids
Keeping little ones’ dental health in check starts with brushing for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, twice a day, from the appearance of their first milk tooth.1
Use a smear of kids’ fluoride toothpaste containing no less than 1,000ppm of fluoride1 with a gentle mint flavour, like our Milk Teeth Toothpaste (1,000ppm fluoride) for ages 0-2 years, to get smaller children used to toothpaste and brushing in their early years. Start with a soft-bristled toothbrush for babies and toddlers to care for their gums while the rest of their teeth come through.1
As they turn 3 years old, our Little Teeth range helps make brushing fun for kids with animal-shaped toothbrushes and a children’s fluoride, mild mint toothpaste. Use a pea-sized blob of Aquafresh Little Teeth kids’ toothpaste (1,450ppm fluoride) and supervise brushing to minimise swallowing.1
From age 7, kids can start brushing independently (although it’s still a good idea to watch them to make sure they brush properly). Give them a toothpaste containing between 1,350-1,500ppm of fluoride to help protect against tooth decay1 – like our Big Teeth kids’ toothpaste (1,450ppm fluoride).
Milk Teeth: baby’s first toothbrush and toothpaste
When your baby's first teeth come through, regular brushing with our Milk Teeth kids’ toothpaste and soft-bristled kids’ toothbrush will help you gently clean your child’s first baby teeth and keep tooth decay in check from day one.
Little Teeth: enhancing kids’ dental care
Once their full set of milk teeth have just about come through, our Little Teeth toothpaste and animal themed kids’ toothbrushes can make tooth brushing fun. Little Teeth toothpaste is specially designed to provide protection for children’s teeth (aged 3-5 years), gently strengthening and protecting the thinner enamel of little teeth.
Big Teeth: helping bigger kids take care of their oral hygiene
Designed by dental experts to help provide your growing child’s teeth with 24 hour protection against sugar acid attacks*, our Big Teeth toothpaste helps their adult permanent teeth to come through healthy and strong.
* Follow a healthy diet and brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste. Level of protection may decrease between brushing.
Advance: specially designed by dental experts for children aged 9-12 years
Aquafresh Advance kids’ toothpaste and toothbrushes can help protect your child’s oral health and new permanent teeth while being gentle on enamel.
