Toothpaste

  • Use a toothpaste that is designed specifically for a baby or toddler. These contain a
    lower level of fluoride, are free of abrasives and your baby is likely to prefer the mild
    taste. Some brands contain artificial sweeteners and flavourings: check the ingredients if
    you are concerned
  • Fluoride protects teeth from decay, but if children have an excess their teeth may
    become discoloured. Fluoride drops or gel should only be given on the recommendation of
    your dentist
