What if my baby doesn't like the flavor?
Try making brushing a game or singing a song. If they still dislike it, consult your dentist for other options.

Troubleshooting
Baby refuses to let you brush their teeth.
Try making brushing a fun activity with songs or games. You can also try letting them hold the toothbrush and 'brush' a toy first.
The baby is swallowing too much toothpaste.
Use a smaller amount of toothpaste, just a smear, and supervise closely during brushing.
Baby is experiencing irritation.
Ensure the toothbrush is soft-bristled and that you're brushing gently. If irritation continues, consult with a dentist.
Concern over fluoride.
The toothpaste has a low fluoride level (500ppmF) to reduce risk if swallowed. Consult a dentist if you have specific concerns.
