Brushes for Kids of All Ages
Dentists typically recommend that parents begin brushing their babies' teeth as soon as they emerge from the gum line. Specially designed infant toothbrushes are available for those first brushing sessions. As your child grows, you can shift to a kids' toothbrush. Manual toothbrushes are inexpensive and come in a wide range of colors and head shapes. >a href="https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/productlist/electric-toothbrushes-oral-care-for-children/N=360937-2000014912" Title="Electric Toothbrushes for Children">Electric toothbrushes for kids can simplify brushing with heads that vibrate or spin.
Toothpastes Just for Little Ones
Using toothpaste with a toothbrush increases the effectiveness of brushing, as the ingredients in toothpastes help to cleanse the teeth and remove impurities. Children's toothpastes are designed especially for kids and can make brushing more appealing. The toothpastes typically come in flavors that children enjoy. Some even have popular characters from television, movies, books and video games on them to make them more appealing.
Addressing Oral Care Concerns
In some cases, dentists may recommend that parents use other oral care products beyond toothbrushes and toothpaste to care for their children's teeth. Some dentists recommend toothpastes and rinses with fluoride to reduce the risk of cavities. Our selection of oral care products also includes solutions for addressing thumb sucking and other concerns.
When your child is experiencing mouth pain, over-the-counter products are available to help to alleviate discomfort. For teething, dentists and pediatricians may recommend teething rings and toys that massage the gums. Pain relieving products are also available along with homeopathic options. Be sure to check with your dentist or pediatrician before using these products.
Easing Discomfort
Promoting Healthy Smiles
Every child has unique needs when it comes to oral care. That's why it's important to consult your little one's pediatrician. A dentist can give you advice about which type of toothpaste and toothbrush is best for your child and let you know whether your little one requires any additional oral care products. Your dentist and pediatrician can also provide guidance about addressing teething symptoms, toothaches and other concerns.
