Natural brushes now practically do not exist, because in practice they were very unhygienic (they started to multiply a large number of different microorganisms), in addition, these brushes too quickly split and failed. Most preferable is a synthetic round brush that allows you to gently care for both your teeth and your baby's gums.

It is not necessary for everyday use to buy a paste directed, for example, on the treatment of bleeding gums, especially without prior consultation with a pediatrician or dentist.
