Baby's Teeth Basics
Understand the significance of early oral care to prevent misaligned teeth, bad development, and future dental issues. Address concerns promptly by consulting a dentist and by using a biofunctionnal product like the Curaprox Baby soother, which promotes the natural development of the mouth.
From Birth to 6 Months: Oral Health Kickstart
Bacteria – that feed on the lactose contained in breast milk or baby food – accumulate in your baby’s mouth from day one. Begin oral care early, using a soft cloth to wipe gums. Introduce the Curaprox teething ring, which includes a training toothbrush for gum massage and preparing for future brushing.
From 6 Months+: First Milk Tooth
Celebrate the arrival of the first tooth around the sixth month. Start brushing with a Curaprox baby toothbrush and consider low-fluoride baby toothpaste for a joyful and safe experience. All Curaprox Baby products are biofunctional, toxin-free and completely safe to use! The Curaprox Baby toothbrush features 5,500 extra-fine, gentle Curen® filaments that prevent injuries to the delicate oral mucosa – the tissue that lines the mouth.
The Dentist: First Visit After One Year
Establish a routine by scheduling the first dental visit after your baby's first birthday, promoting regular dental care from an early age.
Two Years+: Oral Care Progression
Initiate regular brushing from age two with low-fluoride children's toothpaste. Follow the four phases of tooth brushing, gradually transitioning to independent brushing.
Toothbrush for Kids
Introduce the Curaprox Smart toothbrush for children aged 4+, featuring ultra-fine Curen® filaments and a vibrant design for effective and enjoyable cleaning. Take extra care when the first wobbly milk tooth falls out… and makes room for a permanent tooth.
In conclusion, this concise guide empowers parents to establish lifelong oral care habits for their children, promoting healthy smiles from the very beginning. Curaprox is dedicated to biofunctionality, crafting toxin-free products that promote natural growth and development.
]]>It's essential to be just as discerning when choosing a toothpaste. This guide will help you make an informed decision.
Is it gentle on your teeth?
Some toothpaste brands can feel abrasive on your teeth, while others are gentler. This is primarily due to the Relative Dentin Abrasion (RDA) index, which depends on the size, quantity, and surface structure of abrasive substances in toothpaste. Highly abrasive substances are suitable for cleaning hard surfaces like stainless steel but can harm tooth enamel, leading to microscratches and gradual tooth decay.
How does it clean and support oral health?
While your toothbrush performs the mechanical cleaning, toothpaste should be a nourishing blend to support your teeth and gum health. Look for these essential ingredients:
Avoid harmful ingredients: Stay away from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a detrimental component in toothpaste that can cause mouth damage and irritation.
How does it whiten your teeth?
Toothpaste can whiten teeth in various ways:
Lastly, do you enjoy using it?
The choice of toothpaste impacts both the aesthetics and health of your smile. Toothpaste is in daily contact with your teeth, gums, and tongue, so it should be a product you enjoy using. Unpleasant-tasting or harsh toothpaste can deter you from regular brushing, leading to rapid tooth decay.
Be you – your perfect toothpaste for optimal oral health:
In summary, when choosing toothpaste, prioritize one that is gentle on your teeth, supports oral health, and meets your personal preferences, as it directly affects your dental well-being. To maximize the benefits, use a high-quality toothbrush in conjunction with your toothpaste of choice, like:

Causes of Tooth Sensitivity:
Tooth sensitivity often stems from enamel erosion, triggered by aggressive brushing, acidic foods, gum recession, dental cavities, teeth grinding, dental procedures, and gum disease. These factors expose the underlying dentin, leading to discomfort.
Recognizing the Symptoms:
Symptoms of tooth sensitivity include sudden, sharp pain while consuming hot, cold, sweet, or acidic substances, discomfort during brushing or flossing, sensitivity to cold air, persistent unease while eating, and temporary discomfort that fades when the trigger is removed.
Solutions for Relief:
Combat tooth sensitivity with desensitizing toothpaste, a soft toothbrush, gentle oral care practices and consistent hygiene routines.
Here are some great products that can be used for tooth sensitivity:
Understanding tooth sensitivity empowers you to take control of your oral health. By recognizing the causes, identifying symptoms, and embracing practical solutions, you can bid farewell to discomfort and welcome back the joy of everyday indulgences. Your smile deserves a pain-free spotlight!

Some people are more susceptible to developing dental cavities than others due to factors such as:
Fortunately, there are ways to prevent dental cavities. In addition to good oral hygiene, which includes brushing teeth twice a day and interdental brushing, solutions exist.
In conclusion, dental cavities are a common dental disease that can have serious consequences if left untreated. In addition to good oral hygiene, the use of anti-cavity products such as those from the X-PUR brand can help prevent dental cavities and protect long-term dental health. If you are concerned about your risk of developing cavities or have symptoms of the disease, consult your dentist for appropriate advice and treatment.
]]>Dry mouth is more than just a discomfort. In fact, saliva plays an essential role in protecting and maintaining oral health. It helps prevent cavities by removing food particles and bacteria from the mouth. Additionally, it contributes to remineralizing tooth enamel by providing minerals such as calcium and phosphate. Furthermore, saliva also helps maintain fresh breath.
When the mouth becomes dry, these functions are impaired, and this can lead to oral health problems such as cavities and oral lesions, gingivitis, bad breath, oral candidiasis, infections, and mouth ulcers. In addition, chronic dry mouth can cause permanent damage to teeth and gums, as well as a loss of taste and difficulty eating and speaking.
To treat dry mouth, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. It is also recommended to avoid consuming alcohol and tobacco, which can worsen dry mouth symptoms. It is possible to use products specifically designed to relieve dry mouth symptoms. Oral Science offers several products that can help alleviate the discomfort associated with dry mouth and stimulate saliva production during the night and during the day.
In summary, dry mouth is a common problem that can have serious consequences for oral health. It is important to take measures to treat it, such as staying hydrated, avoiding substances that aggravate symptoms, and using products specifically designed to relieve symptoms. If you suffer from chronic dry mouth, it is recommended to consult a dentist or physician to determine the cause.

Saliva does not only have a role to play in the comfort of the mouth and throat. The role of saliva is to protect the oral cavity by acting as a natural defense system. The functions performed by the salivary glands are:
