Silicone Finger Toothbrush, the baby’s first step to brushing.
Baby hygiene is extremely important, and this includes their little mouth. It is necessary to clean it even before their first teeth come in.
Brushing in babies
There are milk or puree residues left in babies’ mouths that must be cleaned. Because of the delicate gums of babies, regular toothbrushes are not suitable; they need something softer. In the past, a gauze wrapped around a finger was used, which is more acceptable but not very comfortable. Therefore, something that doesn’t cause any wounds in the baby’s mouth and is as comfortable as possible for them is needed. For this reason, silicone finger brushes are the best option. These finger brushes also stimulate the baby’s mouth and prepare them to form the brushing habit later. It is important to start this as early as possible so they get used to oral hygiene and see it as something not annoying and even fun.
The finger brushes are specially designed to massage and clean the gums, tongue, and cheeks. They also have the advantage of being made with 100% food-grade silicone, free of any harmful or toxic materials. They usually have small silicone bristles or filaments similar to toothbrushes but much softer and friendlier, and on the other side a slightly irregular surface that acts as a “massager” for the gums.
Most babies enjoy brushing with the silicone finger because it stimulates the gums like a game; others don’t accept it easily, so it is necessary to insist until they get used to it and come to enjoy or at least tolerate it. It is not necessary to brush the baby’s mouth too much; at first, once a day is enough and it can be done at bath time or when the baby is most willing to “brush” their gums.
Another plus is that these brushes are very easy to clean, and you can also sterilize them with boiling water.
The basics
To brush the gums, simply put your finger into the silicone finger brush and then into the baby’s mouth to start cleaning. Sometimes it is advisable to start cleaning only the gums on the first day until the baby gets used to it, and then also clean the tongue and cheeks. Once a day is enough. Brushing does not take more than a minute. To clean the finger brush, rinse it with tap water making sure no food residues remain between the bristles, do not store it wet, and sterilize it at least once a week with boiling water.
