The next step for a full set of milk teeth.
The Wisdom Step by Step range is designed to evolve with your child's dental needs. This Stage 2 brush is made for ages 3 to 5, when all twenty milk teeth have come through and brushing becomes a settled twice-daily habit. It gives children the control they are starting to want while keeping the clean gentle enough for young gums.
Why is the Step by Step brush right for ages 3 to 5?
At this age children want to hold the brush themselves, but they do not yet have the dexterity to reach the back teeth properly. This brush is built around that gap.
The handle is longer than the Stage 1 brush and shaped for a small fist, so a child can grip it while a parent still guides the brushing. The head stays compact to reach the molars at the back, and the filaments remain soft to protect gum tissue that is still developing.
Key Benefits:
- Soft Filaments: Clean milk teeth thoroughly without abrading young enamel or gums.
- Compact Head: Sized to reach the back molars, where decay in milk teeth usually starts.
- Easy-Grip Handle: Shaped for a child's hand to encourage independent brushing under supervision.
- Hygienic Stand: Built into the handle for clean storage between uses.
- Fun Designs: Bright colours to keep brushing something a child wants to do.
How to use Wisdom Step by Step (3-5 Years):
- Preparation: Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
- Brushing: Brush twice a day, morning and last thing at night, for two minutes.
- Supervision: Let your child start, then finish the job yourself until around age seven.
- Spitting: Encourage spitting out rather than rinsing, so the fluoride stays on the teeth.
- Replacement: Replace every 3 months, or sooner if the filaments splay.
Ideal For:
- Nursery and Reception Age: Suits the 3 to 5 stage of the Step by Step range.
- Building Independence: For children who want to hold the brush themselves.
- Full Milk Dentition: Reaches the back teeth once all twenty have come through.
- Supervised Brushing: Comfortable for a parent to hold and finish with.
