Best Natural Baby Oral Care Products

Why are natural oral care products important for your baby?

Non-natural oral care products for your baby contain added chemicals such as Fluoride. The added chemicals are harmful to your baby’s health. In addition, your teeth are connected to your brain, which means that unhealthy teeth can cause mental complaints. So you want to avoid unnatural oral care products as much as possible, both for you and your child.

Natural Bamboo Toothbrush

A natural bamboo toothbrush for your baby has several advantages. View the benefits in the summary:

• Better for the environment: a bamboo toothbrush can be broken down by nature. A plastic toothbrush only breaks down after 400 (!) years and releases various chemicals in the process
• Natural process: as bamboo is a natural and fast-growing material, it is an ideal material for a toothbrush. A toothbrush must officially be replaced after 3 months. Thanks to a bamboo toothbrush, you don’t have to feel guilty about throwing it away. Tip: Pull the bristles out of the brush with pliers before throwing the brush away. The hair is not biodegradable
• Better for health: a bamboo toothbrush is many times healthier than a plastic toothbrush. A 100% bamboo toothbrush is made of natural material which makes it healthy for your mouth. In contrast, a plastic toothbrush leaks various chemicals into your mouth while brushing that can even end up in your bloodstream
• No suffering for animals: because bamboo is not used by animals as food, you can use bamboo without feeling guilty for the animals
• Easy to use: A bamboo toothbrush is just as easy to use as a plastic toothbrush. Just keep in mind that you put the toothbrush on a raised surface (like a cup) after use so that no moisture can penetrate from the surface into the bamboo

Best Natural Baby Toothbrush

Don’t be fooled by companies that promote their toothbrushes as bamboo toothbrushes when only a small percentage of bamboo is used. The bamboo toothbrushes that only contain a small percentage of bamboo also contain formaldehyde and melamine. Both substances are very dangerous to a humans health. When the toothbrush is exposed to (warm) water, both substances are released, which means that you ingest highly toxic substances. So make sure you know for sure that the toothbrush you use for your baby is made of 100% bamboo (except for the bristles, of course). Fortunately, you no longer have to search the internet.
