How to properly brush your child's teeth with a baby toothbrush?
6 months: gentle brushing, done by the parents. The French Union for Oral Health (UFSBD) recommends starting brushing as soon as our babies' first teeth appear, that is to say... sometimes as early as 4 months! Milk, whether breast or artificial, contains many fats and sugars that can attack baby teeth, even in very young children.
Between 6 months and two years , it is recommended that parents gently brush your child's first teeth morning and evening - with a suitable brush and a little water.
Between 2 and 6 years old: the brushing ritual, a special educational time
This is a time of great learning! Why not use the ritual, often a family one, of first tooth brushing to gently convey a message? It is good and healthy to brush your teeth but it is also good to keep what can be kept. Our dear little ones will quickly understand that a toothbrush is not thrown away and will surely be amused by the unclipping of the head that you will perform in front of them!
At what age should a child use a toothbrush?
Good oral hygiene should be adopted as soon as baby teeth appear, on average around 18 months. For toddlers, teeth cleaning should be regular and done correctly. Depending on age, the rules for brushing evolve as do the toothbrushes to use. In reality, it is absolutely necessary to start using a child's toothbrush from 18 months. Before that, you can if you wish start brushing your child's teeth yourself with a child's toothbrush model like the one from Caliquo but your child is too young to brush their teeth alone. There are also specific models of baby toothbrushes that are not really toothbrushes as we imagine them but also at the same time objects to bite to stimulate your baby's gums and soothe this pain during the growth of baby teeth.
What if your child's toothbrush became a fun way to talk to them about ecology and sustainable objects?

Some information about baby teeth:
When will the first baby tooth appear in children? In children, the first baby tooth usually appears around the age of 6 months. But it may appear before or even at birth. But don't worry, it can also appear as early as 1 year.
A child's teeth, called baby teeth, will grow until about age 3. A child's jaw is made up of 20 baby teeth. As their teeth develop, the 32 adult teeth will develop in the jaw and will take their place between the ages of 6 and 12.
