It’s no secret that children have a sweet tooth. From chocolates to sweets to fruits, the foods that children love to eat are commonly filled with sugars. Frequent consumption of sweet, chewy foods can be damaging a child’s teeth, with trapped food particles leading to tooth decay.
Preserving a child’s oral health can be difficult, especially for children who dislike having their teeth brushed. Some parents and guardians may need support in encouraging children to comply with the daily oral hygiene routine.
With the right products, an oral hygiene routine can be better tailored to a child. This does two notable things: it makes oral hygiene more agreeable for the child, and it improves their oral health by ensuring that the teeth are brushed for the recommended time. To aid parents and guardians, the Curaprox product range for babies and kids is designed for long-lasting results.
A toothpaste solution that bears fruit
Brushing twice a day can be a more flavoursome experience for children with Curaprox kids toothpaste. There are three available flavours from which parents can let the child choose from. Whether that’s the exciting zing of watermelon, the familiarity of sweet strawberries or the refreshing appeal of mint, a friendly taste can improve compliance. Each tube also features a friendly and colourful creature, helping to reinforce the easiness of oral hygiene habits and the good that it does.
These toothpastes have a fluoride content of 1,450ppm and are therefore best for children aged six and up. The fluoride strengthens the teeth and gingivae, protecting children from acidic foods and drinks, and tooth decay. The addition of enzymes supports the secretion of saliva and helps remineralise the enamel, whilst the sorbitol prevents the toothpaste from drying out for a smoother experience.
For children aged two and up, Curaprox also has a zero-fluoride strawberry option. The lack of fluoride supports developing teeth whilst still offering excellent protection and a fruity flavour. Toothpastes that taste as well as they work are ideal for children, increasing compliance and leading to superior oral health results.
Brush hour
Not every child will enjoy toothbrushing. It might feel rough or invasive, with children associating the process with negative feelings. To combat this, Curaprox has a vibrant selection of children’s toothbrushes that can brighten the daily oral hygiene routine.
Getting a discouraged child to engage with toothbrushing starts with them choosing a suitable toothbrush; this can empower them. The Curaprox children’s toothbrush come in green, blue, purple, pink, orange and red, avoiding bland dark colours or the sterility of white. Each has a small head and octagonal handle designed for small teeth and hands – this makes the toothbrush easier to control for the child.
The head contains 5,500 ultra-soft Curenâ filaments that are gentle on the teeth and gingivae whilst remaining effective at removing food particles and plaque. The combination of eye-catching colour, comfort and efficiency makes the toothbrush essential for maintaining children’s oral health.
For even more fun and colour, Curaprox also offers a Graffiti edition children’s toothbrush and a Little Bacteria edition. The result of a collaboration with established and upcoming artists, these special edition brushes add extra flair and fun to the oral hygiene routine whilst retaining the densely packed Curenâ filaments and ergonomic grip. The Little Bacteria edition is complemented with a kids sticker chart too, enhancing positivity towards toothbrushing.
For babies, the Curaprox baby toothbrush is ultra-soft and delicate on the gingivae. This gentle texture gives the brush a high acceptance, supporting an effective oral hygiene routine. With 4,260 Curenâ filaments and a rubberised brush head, there is no danger of injury and is made of an anti-slip material for superior grip.
Spoilt for choice
Curaprox champions the notion that health begins in the mouth. For babies and children, a consistent oral hygiene routine maintains their overall health and prepares them for a life with a much smaller risk of oral disease. By finding colourful or flavoursome Curaprox solutions that are still effective prophylactics, children can enjoy their sweet treats without the worry of decay.
