Soft Baby Gum Cleaner & Toothbrush – Food Grade Silicone Infant Toothbrush

Product Overview

Made from 100% food-grade silicone, this doubles as a training toothbrush and a teething soother. The ultra-soft bristles clean first teeth while massaging the gums around them, which is exactly what a teething baby wants to chew on anyway.

The banana shape is the clever part: the two side handles are easy for small hands to grip, and they act as a stop that keeps the brush from being pushed too far back in the mouth.

Key Benefits

• Cleans first teeth and massages sore teething gums
• Works as both a training toothbrush and a teething toy
• Ultra-soft silicone bristles, gentle on new gums
• Easy-grip handles encourage a child to brush independently
• Shaped handles help stop it going too far into the mouth
• 100% food-grade silicone

Key Features

• Food-grade silicone construction
• Ultra-soft bristles
• Banana-shaped ergonomic handles
• Dual purpose: brushing and teething relief
• Easy to clean and sterilise

How to Use

1. Sterilise before first use.
2. Let the baby hold and chew it under supervision — that is how the habit forms.
3. Brush gently along the gums and any teeth, twice a day.
4. For teething relief, chill it in the fridge for a short time first. Never put it in the freezer — frozen silicone is hard enough to bruise gums.
5. Rinse and air-dry after each use.

Cleaning and Sterilising

• Wash in warm soapy water before first use and after every use, then rinse thoroughly.
• Sterilise by the method your equipment supports — steam steriliser, cold-water sterilising solution, or five minutes in boiling water. Check the item is boil-safe first.
• Let it air-dry on a clean surface rather than rubbing it with a tea towel.
• Store somewhere clean and dry, not loose in a nappy bag.
• Replace anything cracked, split, discoloured or chewed through. Damaged surfaces hold bacteria and can break off.

Safety

• Adult supervision at all times. Never leave a baby alone with anything they chew on.
• Inspect before every use — pull the bristles gently. Discard at the first sign of a tear, split or piece coming loose.
• Never attach it to a cord, ribbon or clip around the neck.
• Do not freeze.
• Replace it regularly. Chewed silicone degrades.

When to Start Brushing

As soon as the first tooth appears — usually around six months. Before that, wiping the gums with a clean damp cloth is enough. Once teeth are through, twice a day with a smear of age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste is the standard advice, and a silicone brush is a good way to get a baby used to the idea before a bristle brush arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is it for?

From the start of teething through the first teeth. Once a child has several teeth, move to a small-headed bristle toothbrush.

Can I use toothpaste with it?

Yes, a smear of toothpaste suitable for the child’s age.

How often should it be replaced?

Every couple of months, or immediately if the silicone shows any damage.
