Customer Reviews / NUK Gerber Grins and Giggles Infant Tooth and Gum Cleanser, 1.4 Ounce
Bought this item to be included in a gift basket for a baby shower. I like the product and will be useful to the new mother but I was disappointed to find it cheaper at Wal-Mart
Funny I never gave it much thought about cleaning the babies gums with toothpaste, until I saw this product. But it's really an awesome idea. Then when the first teeth start coming in using the little finger brush (included), which is very soft, to get baby used to the idea of oral care. They're never to young to learn, so why not start out as early as you can. The toothpaste tastes ok, too!!! Leave it to Nuk & Gerber to come up with this great product. I would recommend it to all my friends with new babies.
My baby never wants to brush his teeth (he's 1 yr old and have 6 teeth), but with this one my job became easier. He loves the flavor and eat it all...plus, now he opens his mouth by himself leaving the "fight" in the past :)
First of all, when I read the ingredients on the package I went "yuck". But the more I looked at them, I realized that it wasn't actually bad at all - it was actually excellent! The main tooth decay ingredient is Xylitol. Check out the wiki page on this to get a better feel for how good this sugar alcohol is. It has all kinds of studies indicating that it can help tooth decay significantly and has no known toxicity issues. The sugar alcohol is derived from trees and seems very safe.
This is important. My kids are not old enough to realize that they can't swallow the toothpaste and I still need to keep their teeth clean ...
As a side note, they use Xylitol in chewing gum. In fact it is in many of the more expensive chewing gum brands that promote healthy teeth.
This is the only beginner toothpaste we use in our house. Check out the wiki page on Xylitol and I can say pretty confidently that you will use this as your only toothpaste with kids that may swallow their toothpaste.
Other than the Xylitol, the rest of the ingredients are pretty innocuous and are claimed to be all natural. So there you are.
Thanks!!
