Good teeth and appetite are essential. Children are about to start learning how to brush their teeth. How to choose a children's toothbrush and toothpaste? What are the small details that children need to pay attention to when brushing their teeth?
How to choose toothpaste?
1. The national standard stipulates that the fluoride content in children's toothpaste is 0.05% to 0.11%. Children under 3 years old should not use fluoride toothpaste to avoid fluoride deposition and affect their bone health.
2. Choose toothpaste for your child, and try to choose toothpaste with less foam. Multi foam toothpaste contains more than 18% soap, and the soap is easily broken down in oral saliva, stimulating the oral mucosa and damaging enzymes in children's saliva.
Therefore, when choosing toothpaste for babies in the future, it is important to pay attention to the ingredient instructions on the toothpaste. In addition, you may not be able to tell the amount of foam in the toothpaste from the composition, so after you buy the toothpaste, you'd better see the effect of children's brushing, or try it out in person. Children's toothpaste from big brands with good reputation can basically guarantee quality, and mothers can purchase it at their discretion.
PS: Sweet and fragrant toothpaste can make children fall in love with brushing their teeth, but it's important to prevent them from intentionally swallowing toothpaste because of its strong taste!
How to choose a toothbrush?
The length of the brush handle should be similar to the length when a child clenches a fist, and it should be straight and of moderate thickness to facilitate the child's grip; The length of the brush head is about 2/3 of a dime; The area between the toothbrush head and handle is called the neck and should be slightly thinner; Toothbrush bristles should be moderately soft and elastic.
