Baby Smiles Begin with Healthy Gums


Welcoming a new baby into the family brings endless joy and, with it, a few challenges along the way.

Many parents might be surprised to learn that caring for your baby's gums is just as important as caring for their first little tooth.

At brush-baby, we understand the importance of early oral hygiene -not only for dental health but also to set your child up with good habits.

Read on to find out about our top brush-baby essential tips and tools to keep your little one's gums healthy, and why it’s super beneficial to start early with products like baby gum wipes to keep their gums clean and healthy.

Why Early Gum Care Matters

Before those tiny pearly whites make their debut, your baby's gums require attention. Regular cleaning, with a soft cloth or baby gum wipes can help to prevent bacteria build-up and make sure that emerging teeth have a lovely and healthy environment for them to thrive in.

Starting early with gum care also makes it easier to transition to brushing when their first tooth makes an appearance.

Choosing the Right Tools for Baby Gum Care

Baby Gum Wipes
One of the simplest tools for gum care is baby gum wipes.
These wipes are designed to clean their little gums gently and effectively. Infused with natural ingredients like xylitol, they not only cleanse but also soothe sore gums - which is especially handy during teething. The textured surface provides a gentle massage, offering comfort while maintaining oral hygiene. Lots of parents find these baby gum wipes a convenient option for on-the-go use, ensuring their baby's mouth stays fresh wherever they are.

Baby Teething Toys
Baby teething toys are great for promoting healthy gum development in little ones and providing relief for them during teething.

As your baby bites and gnaws on a baby teether, this action massages the gums and helps to soothe their discomfort caused by emerging teeth. The pressure applied during chewing also helps to encourage blood circulation, which can encourage healthier gum tissues.

Baby BrushInfant Toothpaste
When the first tooth erupts, it's time to introduce your little one to a baby brush and baby toothpaste.

Our brush-baby infant toothbrush has soft bristles that are super gentle on little gums and teeth, ensuring they won’t hurt while effectively cleaning them. Plus, our infant toothpastes are safe to swallow and come in a variety of different flavours that appeal to young taste buds, making brushing a fun experience for your child!
