Babies need to protect their teeth from birth. When they are relatively young, baby teeth have not yet sprouted, but it is necessary to protect their teeth in a timely manner. Mothers will use gauze dipped in water to wipe the baby's gums. After the baby teeth sprout, they need to brush their teeth in a timely manner. So, what toothpaste is good for a 2-year-old baby to brush their teeth with?
1. Do not use toothpaste made from running rice. The toothpaste with more foam contains more soap. It is not suitable for children to use toothpaste with more foam, because there is more foam, and the soap will decompose in the baby's mouth and become several substances that can stimulate the baby's oral mucosa, which will hurt the baby's oral mucosa.
2. Choose high-end toothpaste from big brands. Nowadays, many people are superstitious about imported toothpaste, thinking that the price of imported toothpaste is relatively high and the quality is definitely good, which can better protect the teeth of babies. Actually, this doesn't make sense because toothpaste is essentially the same, but it's best to choose a better toothpaste from a big brand, as it's better for your baby's teeth.
3. Fluoride in toothpaste can make teeth stronger, which many people know. However, experts suggest that the fluoride content in toothpaste used by children must be strictly limited, as excessive fluoride may cause dental fluorosis in babies, and in more severe cases, it may even lead to skeletal fluorosis.
4. Do not choose fragrant and sweet toothpaste. Because there are many essence and pigments in the fragrant and sweet toothpaste, it is necessary to prevent children from swallowing toothpaste.
