Has your child’s first tooth cut through? Hurray for this milestone! You know what this means, right? It’s time to start brushing. To help you choose the right dental paraphernalia (aka toothbrush and toothpaste), here’s a list of the best baby toothpaste brands in the Philippines. Happy brushing!
When to start brushing?
Even before your baby’s teeth show up, you should be doing oral care using a damp cloth. But as soon as the first tooth cuts through, you have to start brushing as recommended by the National Health Service (NHS).
Use a baby toothbrush and a tiny smear of toothpaste. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Dental Association (ADA) also remind parents to also use fluoride toothpaste since it can prevent dental caries or cavities.

It can get challenging to brush the teeth–some kids hate it–so make it fun. Brush your teeth together (for older kids), turn it into a game, or find toothpaste and toothbrush that they will like.

Like most things for your baby, it pays to be meticulous when picking out toothpaste for them. Here are some things to watch for:
- ingredients
- Choose those with fluoride to prevent tooth decay.
- Avoid those with SLS and other harsh abrasive chemicals.
- A mild flavor can help your baby like the brushing process.
- safety
- Younger babies especially don’t know how to spit yet so make sure that the toothpaste you’ll be using is safe to swallow.
