What is the Colgate Kids Toothbrush?
The Colgate Kids Toothbrush is a small toothbrush with extra soft bristles, which are perfect for sensitive gums and new teeth. The handle is specially shaped to be easy for little hands to hold, and the adorable design will help to encourage your child to brush twice a day. This Colgate Kids Toothbrush is designed for children aged between 0 – 3 years, with other Colgate Kids toothbrushes available for children aged 4 – 6 and 6+, so their dental care routine can grow along with them.
Why is brushing your teeth so important?
Every day, bacteria and food build up on your teeth and if you don’t clean them regularly, this build up can cause tooth decay and gum disease. If your child is just getting their first teeth, it’s important to teach them to look after their teeth, forming good habits that will lead to strong, healthy teeth as they grow older.
Why is this toothbrush right for my child?
This Colgate Kids Toothbrush is specially shaped to fit little hands, making it easier for them to hold their toothbrush and brush their teeth properly. The extra soft bristles are kind on first teeth and gums, while still cleaning effectively, making this the ideal first toothbrush for a child.
How to use your Colgate Kids Toothbrush
Use the Colgate Kids Toothbrush to encourage your little ones to brush their teeth twice a day, making sure that they brush for at least 2 minutes at a time. This can help them to get into the habit of taking care of their teeth by themselves. For best results, use alongside other child-friendly dental products.
How often should you change your toothbrush?
Dentists recommend that you should change your toothbrush every 3 months to make sure that you’re getting the best clean possible for your teeth. The same goes for children’s toothbrushes, so make sure you keep track of how long your child has been using their toothbrush and change it for a new one regularly.
