This article explains how to use a finger toothbrush.

• A finger toothbrush is a soft brush that fits over your finger.
• Use it for babies before teeth come in. It can also help some people with special needs.
• It rubs the gums and helps build a daily habit. Babies often accept it better than a toothbrush.

Steps

1. Put the clean finger brush on your finger.
2. Hold the bottom of it with your thumb so it does not get pulled off.
3. Gently rub the gums.
4. Most of the time you do not need toothpaste.
5. After use, rinse it. Sterilise (clean) it like a baby bottle or dummy.
