4. Baby Toothgel

Pediatrics recommend using a toothpaste as soon as the first tooth appears. In the beginning just a tiny amount of toothpaste is enough, once the baby grows and his teeth grow stronger, you can increase the quantity of toothpaste used.

Babies don’t know how to spit, so it is important to use a proper toothpaste developed for babies which won’t contain ingredients that aren’t intended for consumption. Start with a tiny amount and gradually increase it to a pea size. The Baby Toothgel is safe to use on babies 6+ months and doesn’t contain fluoride, making it safe to swallow. It was specially formulated with 100% food grade ingredients and natural flavour, to gently care for your baby’s milk teeth and gums. Use a small amount on every brush daily.
