THE RISK OF FLUORIDE
The risk of fluoride to our health is something that everyone needs to understand. Even though fluoride may reduce tooth decay when applied topically, it is toxic to the rest of the body, and is likely to create health problems, especially when ingested. Our approach is to avoid this potentially harmful substance completely, and instead use other active ingredients that are effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria that causes tooth decay.
THE BENEFITS OF XYLITOL
One of the greatest benefits of xylitol is how it interacts with bacteria. The cavity-causing bacteria that live in the mouth feed on fermentable sugars and produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is what eventually causes cavities because it eats through the enamel surfaces of our teeth. Xylitol is a non-fermentable sugar alcohol, which means the cariogenic bacteria cannot process it and therefore cannot produce lactic acid. Xylitol also has a unique anti-adhesive quality, which prohibits bacteria from adhering to cell tissue. This assists in maintaining the natural pH of the mouth, allowing teeth to be re-mineralized, which helps prevent cavities from forming in the first place.
PRODUCT TIPS
It is recommended to start cleaning the mouth from 4 weeks old, either with a fun finger puppet or simply by rubbing your baby’s gums with a warm, clean facecloth. The earlier you start, the less you’re bound to struggle. You also needn’t wait until the teeth appear through the gums to begin brushing – wiping the gums is important too!
Follow up the Pure Beginnings Gentle Berry Toothpaste with our Fun Time Vanilla Mint Toothpaste – the perfect bridge between baby and adult toothpastes. The mild, minty flavour allows kids to get used to stronger, adult flavours without putting them off brushing their teeth.

“Getting your child to pretend to be a hippo or lion encourages a wide-open mouth for brushing.”

Enjoying your pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the most miraculous experiences for a woman, yet often the season of growing a little life within one’s body is plagued by horror stories.
Which is better for you, insect repellent spray or stick?
As the days get warmer and the sun hangs around a little longer in the sky, we can feel that summer is in the air.
XYLITOL
HERO PROPERTIES: Low GI sugar alcohol with antibacterial properties
WHAT IT DOES: Endorsed by many dental associations worldwide for its ability to inhibit the growth of the oral bacteria, Streptococcus mutans, which is a largely responsible for plaque.
WHERE IT’S FROM: Xylitol occurs naturally in small amounts in fibrous fruits and vegetables, trees, corncobs, and even the human body. It is usually processed from birch trees or corn.

Absolutely love this product – no sugar in it (unlike most baby toothpastes – how ridiculous is that?) and my toddler is excited to brush his teeth every day! Long may it last.

Andrea
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
The very best baby toothpaste! My son actually looks forward to brushing his teeth because of it.
Paige
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
I read reviews about this toothpaste when my little one started teething and they were amazing. At 6 months old, 2 milk teeth popped out and we started brushing with the Berry Toothpaste and my we love it. And love that it’s safe to swallow since we are still young and haven’t learned to spit out. But it tastes amazing, my little one loves it and it makes brushing very easy.
