There are a range of products you can buy to help make teeth cleaning easier. There are specialist toothbrushes such as the Collis Curve and Dr Barman’s brush which are designed to clean all three sides of the tooth at once, therefore making teeth cleaning quicker to do. You can also buy flavourless, non-foaming toothpaste called Ora Nurse. This can be useful for children who do not like the strong taste of mint and also for children who have an unsafe swallow.
There are also dental finger shields that you can buy that you can use to help keep your child’s mouth open wide enough in order to get their teeth cleaned whilst keeping your finger safe. These are useful for children who bite down on their toothbrush. These are available to buy from eBay, and you may also be able to get one from your dentist.
