Curaprox children's toothbrushes

The choice of the first toothbrush will determine the child's further attitude to personal oral hygiene. And if your child is uncomfortable with a toothbrush or does not like the design, then it is better to replace it with another one. Do not neglect the child's desire, so that in the future, brushing your teeth does not become entrenched in his mind as an unpleasant procedure. About what brushes are for children, how to use them, will be discussed in the article.

In order for your child not to be lazy to care for their teeth, it is important to adhere to two simple rules:

1. set the right example to follow;

2. take a responsible approach to the choice of hygiene supplies.

In the first case, everything is extremely simple. If a child sees his parents skip the morning or evening ritual of brushing their teeth on weekends, then most likely the child will have the same approach in the future. You cannot instill in a baby something that is not done independently.

But so that the child would like the first toothbrush, and in the future he would be happy to brush his teeth every day, it is necessary to figure out how children's models differ from adults.

1. Handle design and size. As a rule, children's toothbrushes are small in size, and on the handle there are rubber inserts, drawings and a cap in the form of an animal's head. If the drawing is needed to attract the attention of the child, then the rest of the details are of an auxiliary nature. So, rubber inserts are needed so that the brush is comfortable to hold in the hand, and it does not slip. The small size is also designed for small hands and baby teeth. But the cap is needed in order to protect the bristles from germs and dust.

2. Stubble... The difference here is in the stiffness and the surface. Usually products for children mean the softest small bristles.This is necessary so as not to damage the enamel and gums.

It should be noted that there are silicone toothbrushes for the little ones... They can be used for up to a year. The parent must do this. This brush looks like a fingertip with silicone bristles on the sides.

Among the wide variety of manufacturers of oral hygiene products, experts identify the 5 best brands specifically for children:

1. Curaprox;

2. R. O. C. S .;

3. Pigeon;

4. Colgate;

5. Oral-B.

Children's toothbrushes from Curaprox and the other manufacturers listed above have been developed under the guidance of children's dentists. This allowed us to create the best product for babies, taking into account their wishes and physiological characteristics.

We have already decided on the manufacturers, now it's time to talk about the models. One of the most popular children's dental accessories is the toothbrush Curaprox 4260 (0 to 4 years old) with rubberized handle. The peculiarity of this model lies in the shape of the leg. It is thickened towards the end to adhere to any smooth surface. And also the handle itself is slightly curved. This decision was made to relieve the load on the teeth until the baby gets used to the process of brushing his teeth. For the same purpose, manufacturers have added rubber inserts to the model. Apply Curaprox 4260 is possible with the appearance of the first milk tooth.

Another representative of Curaprox deserves special attention. In the model 5460 Ultra Soft the brand has focused on stubble. Each brush contains exactly 5,460 bristles. In their structure, they are denser than nylon and absorb less moisture. This allows the model to retain its cleansing properties. At the same time, the head itself is quite compact, has a slight tilt. This is what makes it easy to clean plaque even in hard-to-reach places. Thus, the child can easily remove plaque with high quality even in the area of ​​the gingival sulcus.

The BabyOno brush is a good option for kids who need to strengthen their gums.... The peculiarity of the brush is that a rubber massager insert is located on the handle. This allows you to use it during the eruption of milk teeth. Thus, your child will be accustomed to oral hygiene from early childhood. "Hollywood Smile" is guaranteed.

The electric toothbrush CS Medica CS-461 Kids intended for children over 5 years old. The device operates on two batteries at a speed of 1800 rpm. At the same time, the design of the brush is made in such a way that it is convenient and pleasant for the child to hold the device in his hands. Due to the soft bristles, there will be no discomfort, however, from the disadvantages, parents often highlight the only built-in rotation program, as well as the absence of pressure sensors on the tooth. A child with sensitive teeth may not like CS Medica CS-461 Kids.

Buying the right toothbrush is only half the battle. An important role is played by the very process of operating and caring for oral hygiene products. Dentists give several recommendations for using the brush:

1. wash your hands with soap and water before cleaning;

2. squeeze out a pea of ​​toothpaste;

3. remove plaque (circular movements, up and down, left and right);

4. clean the surface of the tongue;

5. rinse your mouth.

On average, this process should take 3-5 minutes. If during this time discomfort appears, then you need to change either the paste or the brush. After taking care of your oral cavity, you need to take care of the brush itself. To do this, it is enough to thoroughly wash the toothbrush under running water. It is important that the water is not too hot or cold. This can provoke fiber breakdown. Next, you should put the device in a special case.
