When I was a child, I really hated to brush my teeth, and I suffered for it every time we went to visit the dentist.  My parents brushed my teeth for me as a young child, but trusted me to do it on my own as I grew older.  I remember swishing the brush around for a couple of seconds just so I could say I'd brushed them, but I didn't actually develop healthy oral habits until I was a teenager.  And by then, damage had already been done.  Needless to say I feel it is very important to get my kids into good habits early.  Oral-B Baby Tooth Cleaner makes it easy.  My son looks forward to the times when we brush teeth.  He lets me do the initial brushing, then I rinse off the toothbrush and let him finish up on his own.  I like that I don't have to worry too much if he swallows a little bit because the Oral-B Baby Tooth Cleaner is safe and formulated with the knowledge that it may be hard to get babies to spit (at least when you want them to).

I am a freak about hygiene first and foremost. So when my son started teething at five months of age I wanted the best toothpaste I could get for a decent price. I came across this at a local store. What drew me to it was that it came with a cute Elmo toothbrush and a 4oz bottle of cleanser for like 3bucks...Not too shabby! The cleanser is clear colored so NO staining their pajamas at night time, Moms!! The toothbrush it comes with is very soft bristled and brightly colored so it kind of makes brushing teeth fun. The cleanser has a very pleasant taste to it. My son LOVES it and fusses when we're done brushing his teeth. My now one year old son takes the brush from me at night (after I've gotten most of his teeth) and tries to brush like I do. I really do think the pleasant taste and fun design has made him look forward to brushing his teeth versus looking at it as a chore. Which most kids do, so I am glad to Oral B that they helped me start a good habit very early.

My son loves this Oral-B Stages Baby Tooth and Gum Cleaner. He likes the taste and he did not hesitate to try it from the first time he use it. Before I bought that for him, he always tried to escaped from brushing teeth routine. He cried and he even pretended sleeping. He drove me crazy everytime I wanted to brushed his teeth. And then I found Oral-B Stages Baby Tooth and Gum Cleaner, I bought it right away and had my son tried it after we got home. And guess what...my son did not acted the way he used to. He loves the taste of it and he wants me to bruhes his tooth everytime we go to the bathroom. What a incredible change. I thought I won't be able to brush my son's tooth forever, but it's different now. I'm so happy with what happened and so do my husband. My life was miserable before I had Oral-B Stages Baby Tooth and Gum Cleaner. It makes my life easier and saves a lot of my time. You'll try it and you'll feel the same as I do.

Oral-B Stages Baby Tooth and Gum Cleanser I began using Oral-B Stages when my son was almost one year-old because my dental hygienist recommended we try it. It had been a struggle to brush his teeth for very long and I wasn't aware there was a baby "toothpaste" on the market. I chose the tube with the lion, turtle and caterpillar from Baby Einstein because when I allow him to watch Baby Einstein he loves the lion and caterpillar the most. He instantly recognized them the first time we tried the toothpaste and roared while pointing to the lion. He didn't mind the taste of the toothpaste. In fact, he enjoyed it and wanted to put more on his toothbrush. I was able to brush his teeth longer than normal. He would stop and suck on the brush occasionally to taste the toothpaste but the brushing went on as long as he was able to hold the toothpaste tube. I tasted the toothpaste and it tastes like the bubble gum flavored polish from the dentist. I am pleased with this tooth cleanser because the amount he swallows is perfectly safe. The cost is much more than a regular tube of toothpaste and it is a very small tube, however, you only use a tiny amount since the baby toothbrushes are quite a bit smaller. We are about halfway through the tube and have had it eight months.
