Tooth paste and brush for kids

If we are buying tooth brush for our kid, pay attention to the following:

• Hair of the brush shall be soft and the ends shall be round; this will not hurt the gum.
• Head of the brush shall be small to ensure the proper reach of all the teeth, even the back ones.
• Adult tooth brushes are not good for the kids, the head of them is too big for a convenient tooth cleaning; hair is too hard and might hurt the gum.
• In every four month and after illnesses let's change the tooth brush as bacteria might hide in it. If you see that the brush is worn our, immediately change the tooth brush!

Tooth brushes shall be stored vertically to let them dry and keep them separated to avoid bacteria transfer from one to the other.

For kids shall toot paste shall be bought which was designed especially for milk teeth.
The fluoride content of these is lower - than the adult's - to avoid discoloration (fluorosis).
