Aquafresh Baby Toothpaste Milk Teeth 0-2 Years - 50ml

Aquafresh Milk Teeth Toothpaste is a gentle, low-abrasive toothpaste formulated by dental experts for babies and toddlers aged 0-2 years with at least one erupted tooth. Its specially tailored formula delivers age-appropriate fluoride to help strengthen enamel and protect against cavities and acid attacks caused by everyday sugar acids from milk and food.

Milk teeth (primary teeth) are thinner and more vulnerable than adult teeth, so they need extra gentle care without harsh ingredients. This toothpaste is developed to make brushing a positive, baby-friendly experience with a mild mint flavour, free from artificial flavours and sweeteners, and containing a high percentage of naturally derived ingredients.

Key Benefits

• Specially designed for babies and toddlers aged 0-2 years.

• Age-appropriate fluoride level helps protect developing enamel and reduce decay risk.

• Low-abrasive formula gentle on delicate milk teeth.

• Mild mint flavour suitable for young taste buds.

• Free from artificial flavours and sweeteners; sugar-free and vegan-friendly in many formulations.

Typical Formulation: Contains approximately 1000 ppm fluoride (as sodium fluoride) in a safe, gentle dental paste. 

Follow these UK pharmacy-aligned instructions to support safe and effective baby tooth brushing:

1. Begin brushing as soon as the first tooth emerges.
2. For babies under 3 years, use a smear (grain-of-rice size) amount of toothpaste on a soft-bristled baby toothbrush.
3. For toddlers closer to 2 years, a pea-sized amount may be appropriate once they can reliably spit out excess paste.
4. Brush twice daily (morning and night), gently covering all tooth surfaces and along the gum line.
5. Rinse the toothbrush and the baby’s mouth with a small amount of water after brushing.
6. Supervise all brushing to ensure safe use and minimise swallowing.

Incorporating regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste helps establish lifelong dental hygiene habits early.
