Teething is associated with great pain. Thanks to various signs, you can recognise when your baby is teething and help them to fight the pain. The first tooth is also accompanied by dental care.

Signs of teething

Supportive aids

Milk tooth care

Brushing your baby's teeth is important from the first tooth at the latest. However, there are various items available to get your baby used to oral hygiene at an earlier stage. For example, a finger toothbrush, finger cots to clean the mouth area or teething rings with bristles.

If your baby is still sceptical despite their first experience, you can give them the toothbrush themselves first. Provided they can already hold it. They can explore it and make friends with it. It is important that parents clean the teeth at the end of every toothbrushing session.
