Frida · Baby Finger Toothbrush
Fingerbrush
Oral care starts before the first tooth. The Fingerbrush slips over your index finger so you can wipe milk residue from the gums and, later, clean the first teeth without a bulky handle in a small mouth.
How to use
- Slide the brush over your finger, textured side out.
- Wipe gently along the gums after feeds, or brush new teeth in small circles.
- Rinse after use. Dishwasher safe.
Good to know
- Designed for use from birth through the first teeth.
- Soft food-grade silicone.

Step by step
How to use the Fingerbrush
Wash your hands
Your finger is going in your baby's mouth. Clean hands first, every time.
Slip it over your index finger
It fits snugly and stays put, even when your baby bites down. The silicone protects your finger too.
Water, or a smear of toothpaste
Water alone for gums and for babies under 18 months. From 18 months, a smear of low-fluoride children's toothpaste.
Small circles along the gum line
Front gums, back gums and any teeth that have arrived. The triple-angled bristles clean and massage in the same motion. Thirty seconds is plenty.
Rinse and stand it up
Rinse in warm water and store it in the stand with the lid on so it stays clean between uses.
Dental care by stage
From gums to first teeth to a real toothbrush.
Birth to 6 months
No teeth yet, but the bacteria that cause decay are already there. Clean the gums after feeds with the Fingerbrush and water so the routine is familiar before the first tooth.
6 to 18 months
As the first teeth arrive, usually the bottom front pair, keep using the Fingerbrush. The double-sided head cleans both sides of a new tooth in one pass.
18 months on
More teeth, more independence. Move to the ToothHugger, which cleans front, back and biting surface at once, and let them have a go first.
What Australian dental guidance says
Start before the first tooth. Brush twice a day from the first one.
The Australian Dental Association recommends cleaning a baby's gums before any teeth appear, brushing twice a day from the first tooth, using a smear of low-fluoride children's toothpaste from 18 months, and a first dental check by the first birthday.
The Fingerbrush covers gums and first teeth. From around 18 months, when there are more teeth and more opinions, the ToothHugger cleans three sides of each tooth in one pass. Ask your dentist or child health nurse about anything specific to your child.
