Why does my 1 year old need a specific toothpaste?
At 1 year old, your baby or toddler is still developing oral care habits and likely cannot spit properly yet. That’s why it’s important to choose a training toothpaste specifically designed for this age group. Boka’s baby toothpaste is fluoride-free and safe for young children to swallow.
How much toothpaste should I use for my 1 year old?
For brushing teeth at this age, most dentists and pediatricians recommend using a rice-grain-sized amount of toothpaste for 1 year old babies. This small amount helps clean teeth and gums effectively while introducing brushing as a daily habit. Pair it with a soft toothbrush designed for toddlers.
