Build Great Brushing Habits with Colgate Baby and Colgate Kids Premium Line

Great oral health is essential even for young kids and, believe me, it pays to train them well while they're young.  I am glad that I was able to instill the habit of regular tooth brushing and dental visits to my son when he was still young. He didn't have cavities ever and I am super proud of that! I am so meticulous with my son's oral health because I know it's connected to having a healthy heart.

Introduce baby to brushing

You can introduce brushing to your baby even before his first tooth comes in. When Ralph was still an infant, I used a clean washcloth or bib to gently clean his gums and tongue after every feeding. It became challenging once he started teething and my fingers would often be bitten, haha!

This Colgate Baby Toothbrush is available in Shopee

You're one lucky momma because Colgate, the world's #1 Oral Care Brand, has a Baby Toothbrush that also acts as a teether. It's made of 100% food-grade silicone and absolutely BPA-free so it's safe to be bitten by your baby. It's a great way to get your baby used to brushing because of its gentle bristles that give it a toothbrush "feel." It also has handles on both sides so baby can easily grip it. And of course, it looks like a bright yellow butterfly that babies would definitely love.

Fluoride-free toothpaste is best for kids below 2 years old

Fluoride is a common mineral that is known to help prevent tooth decay. However, as with any other vitamin or mineral, swallowing too much fluoride is not safe for the body. Young kids do not realize this, of course. So it's better to use a fluoride-free toothpaste for kids below two years.

Colgate Baby Toothpaste is a good option for this age group as it is absolutely fluoride-free. Plus, it's made with no artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners, and colors. You'll be sure that your baby will love its natural flavor.

Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste for kids 3-5 years old

Toddlers can start using fluoride toothpaste in brushing their teeth but dentists recommend only applying a smear or a pea-sized amount on their brushes. Also, parents are advised to always remind them not to spit it out and not to swallow excess toothpaste.
