Brush-Baby has a unique ‘H’ cross-section head, which is designed to fit over the upper and lower dental arch. The head is filled with tiny, soft bristles, which clean both the top and bottom teeth as the teether brush is chewed or moved from side-to-side.

Its arched base covers half the mouth and is designed to reach the teeth and gums at the back of the mouth; not always easy with a conventional teether or toothbrush.

Brush-Baby is made of silicone and is soft and flexible. Unlike other teethers and toothbrushes it bends easily. This makes it safer, more comfortable for young mouths and fun for babies and young children to use. Its broad looped handle is also soft, bendable and easily held by little hands.

How does Brush-Baby differ from conventional teethers?
Brush-Baby is softer and more flexible than conventional teethers. This makes it gentler on tender gums and safer to use – if your baby falls it will bend. Its unique arch shape helps reaches right to the back of the mouth so it can help to ease the teething pain caused by the molars (back teeth) as they start to come through later.

How does Brush-Baby differ from conventional toothbrushes?    

Brush-Baby is easier and more comfortable to use than a normal toothbrush because it uses chewing action which comes naturally to young children. In fact, up to the age of 4-6 years most young children don’t have the coordination brush their own teeth properly and it needs to be done for them.  Brush-Baby can also reach the teeth right at the back of the mouth where is can be difficult to clean them properly.

Can Brush-Baby be used in place of a dummy or comforter?

You can use Brush-Baby in place of a dummy or comforter. It’s flexible, chewy and fun for babies and toddlers to use – great for keeping them occupied! Brush-Baby offers a really useful alternative if your child’s teeth are being affected by overuse of a dummy and if you are looking to wean them off their dummy.

Does this mean that I don't have to brush their teeth anymore?

Young children love to try things for themselves and Brush-Baby makes it easier for children clean their own teeth from when they get their first tooth. This helps to encourage good tooth brushing routines from early on in your child’s life. It’s is also a great way of keeping their teeth and gums clean during the day, particularly after sweet treats or even after lunch time – not just at normal brushing time (morning and night).

For children who refuse to brush their own teeth, or to have their teeth brushed, Brush-Baby offers them something different which they can do themselves and can make brushing time easier! 

Brush-Baby can help to keep your child’s teeth and gums clean but you will still need to check that they have brushed their teeth properly and to supervise their all tooth brushing. It’s still a good idea to brush your children’s teeth morning and night to check that they are really clean - even if they have used Brush-Baby.    

How often will I need to replace Brush-Baby?

This depends on how old your child is, how many teeth they have and how often they use the Brush-Baby!  In general, inspect before using and replace Brush-Baby at the first sign of wear and tear.

Is Brush-Baby safe?

Brush-Baby is soft and flexible and contains no hard pieces so it’s safe and comfortable for young mouths – if your baby falls over when it is in their mouth it will bend. 
Made from silicone Brush-Baby is safe to use if your child has a latex allergy.
The Brush-Baby teether brush has been independently tested in the UK. It complies with European Directive 2001/95/EC on safety and meets the required physical, chemical and mechanical standards of The General Product Safety Regulation 2005: CEN TR 13387:2004. It is also FDA approved.

What do dentists think of Brush-Baby?

Dentists think Brush-Baby is a great product and love the design. We’ve even included the babies and toddlers of dentists in UK our trials. They all said it was a great success and their children loved it. 

What do parents think of Brush-Baby?

The teether-brush has been available in the USA, Canada, Australia and Japan for a number of years. These countries are well known to have good, but expensive dental care. It’s been a real hit amongst parents in these countries who want to keep their children’s teeth clean and little mouths healthy. When we trialled Brush-Baby here in the UK we found that they felt the same!  Here’s a letter from one mother in England.

Dear Brush-Baby

I just had to write to congratulate you on your extremely practical and highly innovative product.

With 10-month-old frantically teething and a three-year-old losing interest in traditional toothbrushes while challenging the whole brushing ritual, it continually comes to my rescue.

 It’s soft and bendy and can be chilled in the fridge – ideal for a teething baby. Its clever and novel design has struck a chord with my older child and I am very happy for him to brush away unaided. Its tactile bristles are gentle on tender gums and it gives me peace of mind knowing that my children’s teeth and gums are being well cleaned and cared for.

Well done!          Aideen Lakin, UK (mother of two, Winchester,UK)

 

Is it really that important to look after baby teeth?

Definitely! Dentists will tell you that baby (milk or deciduous) teeth are just as important as adult (or permanent) teeth. Unhealthy baby teeth and gums not only cause pain and distress to your child but can also affect their developing adult teeth. This could mean that they may need lengthy and costly dental treatment later on.  See what our dentist advises about caring for baby teeth in our ‘Dental Advice Centre’.

Is Brush-Baby recyclable?

Brush-Baby is made of silicone and its packaging of PET and paper card. All of these re-cyclable depending on the facilities that your local area has.
