There is a common myth that oral care only needs to begin in the toddler stage after your baby is weaned. However the truth is that It’s never too early to start taking care of your little one’s teeth! From the moment your child begins to cut their first teeth (as uncomfortable as it may be for both them and you), it’s important to start a tooth brushing routine to avoid infant cavities. Milk residue, excess saliva, and general bacteria buildup can all lead to painful tooth decay in kids - making it extremely important to start on a baby-safe dental care routine as soon as you can.
Elgydium has been in the oral care business for over 40 years, with a wide range of junior toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouthwash to choose from. Their French-made products have been carefully produced using child-safe recipes and ingredients, with the appropriate levels of useful active ingredients such as Fluorinol (amin fluorine) and Siliglycol to ensure clean teeth without any gum irritation.

Kid-Friendly Junior Toothbrushes and Toothpaste from Elgydium
An important part of creating a regular and familiar dental hygiene routine for your kids is using kid-friendly toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, and any oral care essentials. The sharp minty taste of ‘adult’ toothpaste may be too overwhelming for a young child or toddler, and regular adult-sized toothbrushes are not designed to suit your little one’s still-developing motor skills either!
Elgydium has a variety of toothbrushes to choose from that can suit any age including:
These toothbrushes are designed to fit into your baby or toddler’s hand, with features such as finely rounded bristles for sensitive teeth and gums and ergonomic handles adapted for children.
You can further sweeten your nighttime brushing routine with the Elgydium Kids Toothpaste 1-2yrs - Red Berries or Elgydium Kids Toothpaste 2-6yrs 50ml - Banana. Formulated to provide superior tooth decay protection, these toothpastes contain fluorinol which enables 5 times more protective fluoride fixation onto the enamel after the first minute of brushing. Sweet and fruity flavours also make the experience more welcoming for youn children, helping to develop healthy dental habits for their future.
End your routine with the ready-to-use Elgydium Junior Mouth Wash Cherry 500ml for an additional layer of protection against dental caries and gum disease. This sugar-free and alcohol-free mouthwash is suitable for children over the age of 6, as well as children who wear braces.
Frequently Asked Questions About Elgydium Junior Toothbrush & Toothpaste
1. When should I start brushing my child’s teeth?
You should start a baby dental care routine – including brushing – as soon as your child’s teeth begin to come through. This is to get your baby used to toothbrushing as part of their daily (or nightly) routine, and to get familiar with the sensation. As your child grows older, you can begin to introduce them to more oral care products such as Elgydium’s junior toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouthwash when appropriate.
2. How can I care for my child’s teeth during the newborn stage?
During the newborn to 6 month old stage, you can follow these simple steps to begin an dental care routine:
- Clean baby’s gums after feeding using a damp washcloth or tooth wipes
- Gently massage gums in circles during cleaning to loosen up any food or liquid debris
- Ease teething symptoms using cold washcloths or teethers to prevent excessive saliva flow or gum soreness
After your baby begins teething, a soft finger toothbrush should be used to avoid irritating or damaging their sensitive gums. As your child approaches the 1 year old mark and beyond, they can progress to kid-friendly junior toothbrushes like the Elgydium Baby Toothbrush 1-3yrs or Elgydium Kids Toothbrush 2-6yrs. Baby- and toddler-friendly toothpaste should also be used, as they have been formulated with special active ingredients that take your baby’s sensitive teeth and gums into consideration.
3. What other baby oral care products can I find at Mothercare?
Apart from Elgydium, Mothercare carries a wide variety of junior oral care supplies including toothbrushes ergonomically shaped for small hands, and toothpaste formulated to be baby- and toddler-safe. Buy popular oral care brands such as Jack N’ Jill, Philips Avent, and Tommee Tippee online or in your nearest Mothercare Singapore outlet.
