Description
Weleda Children's Tooth Gel is a fluoride-free tooth gel positioned as ideal for first teeth, built around calendula and sweet almond oil. It comes in a 50ml tube.
Built for the very first teeth
Weleda is specific about who this is for: it's ideal for first teeth, which makes it a starting point for brushing routines from when a baby's first teeth come through, rather than a general children's toothpaste for older kids. As more teeth arrive and your child grows, it's worth checking with your dentist about when to move to a different formula, including when fluoride toothpaste is generally recommended.
The claims, as Weleda states them
- Helps prevent cavities
- Cleanses thoroughly and gently
- Ideal for first teeth
The gel contains no fluoride, relying on gentle silica and the botanical ingredients below instead.
What's in the tube
- Silica, a mild abrasive suited to delicate first teeth
- Calendula officinalis flower extract, included for its traditional soothing properties
- Sweet almond oil, for a smooth, pleasant texture
- A natural flavour from essential oils, rather than a strong mint
Weleda states this is 100% certified natural care, with around 80% of the botanical ingredients certified organic and sourced ethically and sustainably.
How to use it
Use a small amount on a soft baby toothbrush to begin gently brushing your child's first teeth as part of a simple daily routine, morning and evening.
A note on early dental care
Bringing a toothbrush into the routine early, even before a full set of teeth has come through, is generally encouraged as good practice. If you have questions about how much to use, when to introduce fluoride, or your child's specific dental development, your dentist or maternal health nurse is the best source of guidance. If calendula already features in your baby's skincare routine, the Weleda Calendula Baby Oil Fragrance Free uses the same soothing ingredient elsewhere in Weleda's baby range.
