Once your child starts teething, you can use an extra soft toothbrush and kids’ toothpaste to clean their teeth. Using an extra soft toothbrush at this stage will help to remove plaque and keep their teeth clean and healthy as they grow, without harming their gums or causing irritation. 

A 3-year-old child can use either a manual or an electric toothbrush for children. A manual toddler toothbrush offers control and lets them practice a good brushing technique, whereas an electric toothbrush with a timer or featuring their favourite character can encourage them to brush.

Before teething, you should wipe your baby’s gums after feeding. After teething, you can start to gently brush their teeth twice a day. Toddler teeth brushing can be challenging! Be sure to use only a smear of children’s fluoride toothpaste and an extra-soft toothbrush suitable for 0-3 year olds.
