We’ve been using the Aquafresh Milk Teeth one (with the same toothpaste) since teeth appeared.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user OrangeSwoosh) Our verdict Age suitability: 0 years+ | Power: Not powered | Firmness: Soft | Size: N/A | Material: BPA and PVC Free What we love With this type of two-sided brush, you can use your finger to gently rub along your baby’s gums and emerging teeth for a thorough clean. A fingertip brush is also great for getting your baby used to a mouth-cleaning routine. We love FridaBaby’s fingertip brush for its durability and BPA-free, food-grade silicone construction.

Parents of wriggly babies unwilling to ‘say ahh’ know only too well how hard it can be to brush their bundle of joy’s toothy pegs (about as easy as trying to take their temperature with one of the best baby thermometers). A Baby Buddy finger toothbrush could be the answer.

Brush baby silicone toothbrush and a lot of patience!"(Vetted by Mumsnet user Shakeitshakeitbaby) Our verdict Now that you know a soft bristle toothbrush is the way to go for babies, it's time to decide between a teething toothbrush or finger toothbrush. There are a few differences between the two, but many parents and caregivers wonder if one cleans better than the other. The Baby Banana Infant Toothbrush doubles as a teether and toothbrush. The best part about this brush is that your baby can brush all by themselves, promoting hand-eye coordination and good hygiene. This ingenious product is just right for little hands to grasp easily, and its gentle silicone bristles bring relief to sore gums while still brushing them clean.

Recommendations from real parents From this list, we chose a shortlist of the 10 best toothbrushes that we felt offered a range of design, functions and price points, to ensure there was something for everyone. About the author Both manual and electric toothbrushes can do a great job of cleaning teeth when used properly, but the latter might be best left to older babies who are more experienced brushers – unwilling ones in particular, who may be encouraged by the novelty factor. For smaller infants who need their parents’ help, a manual, finger or chewable baby toothbrush should suffice. Milk teeth should be brushed from the moment they first appear, with most babies’ first one breaking through at around six months. Developing good oral health habits from an early age gets kids into a dental care routine that should be adhered to daily, with teeth brushed twice a day – last thing at night before bed and at another convenient time. Young children need supervising while brushing and toothbrushes should be discarded at the first sign of damage. What happens if you don’t brush your baby’s teeth?Look up baby finger toothbrushes.

Watch out for biting though!"(Endorsed by Mumsnet user JuniorMumto1) Our verdict

It’s made from flexible silicone with handles that are easy for little hands to grasp and prevent the toothbrush from going too far into the mouth. While small enough to carry in your changing bag, it’s also likely to attract any hair or fluff therein. That said, it can simply be rinsed under the tap, wiped or even popped in the dishwasher. Our only real gripe is that it doesn’t count towards your little one’s five-a-day. The habits you set for your child now can save you time and energy later on. With children’s teeth even more susceptible to decay than their adult counterparts, buying the best baby toothbrush is a must. Good oral hygiene is essential to help prevent gum disease or painful cavities that can lead to infection, fillings and even extractions – as well as overwhelming guilt for parents. If you’re looking for a baby toothbrush that's super easy for little hands to hold, try this uniquely shaped brush from Ecovona. It has a wide, ergonomic handle with a hole in the middle, making it just right for tiny fingers. We love that it features a two-in-one design; the top of the toothbrush cleans teeth, while the bottom of the handle doubles as a teether.To find the best baby toothbrushes and learn more about oral health for babies, we spoke to several pediatric dentists and researched guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). A board-certified family physician on our Review Board also reviewed this article for medical accuracy and integrity surrounding what to look for in baby toothbrushes, as well as when and how often to use them.

It’s never too soon to get your baby used to brushing their teeth, particularly because milk contains naturally occurring sugar that can wreak havoc on the ivories - brushing twice a day will establish healthy dental habits for life. However, getting your baby to open wide is often easier said than done, so we've put together this guide to the best baby toothbrushes which will have your children greeting teeth-brushing-time with the same enthusiasm they show their best baby walker or favourite bath toys. One of our favorite features of this baby toothbrush is its two-minute timer. The brush’s head lights up and turns off after two minutes, so kids brush the recommended time to get their teeth clean. However, the light was somewhat of a distraction for excited toddlers who preferred playing with the light over brushing their teeth. On the other hand, the toothbrush pulses every 30 seconds to let kids (and parents) know when it’s time to move to another area of the mouth. Overall, we appreciate this kid-friendly feature to make brushing teeth fun.
