FINGER BRUSH FLO 1"S

About

A finger brush, often made of soft silicone or rubber, is an oral hygiene tool designed to be worn on a finger for gentle cleaning of teeth and gums. It is particularly useful for infants and young children, allowing parents or caregivers to introduce oral care routines early and effectively. The soft bristles or nubs gently massage gums and remove plaque and food particles from developing teeth, promoting healthy oral development. Its design offers a high degree of control and tactile feedback, making it easier to reach all surfaces of small mouths and to make the experience less intimidating for children.

Beyond pediatric use, finger brushes can also be beneficial for individuals with sensitive gums, those recovering from oral surgery, or patients with dexterity issues who find traditional toothbrushes challenging to manipulate. The direct contact with the finger allows for a more controlled and gentle cleaning action, which can be particularly soothing for teething babies. Regular use helps to prevent plaque buildup, gingivitis, and early childhood caries, establishing good oral hygiene habits from an early age. It is important to clean the finger brush thoroughly after each use and replace it periodically.
