Baby Oral Care Tooth Wipes - Gum & Teeth Wipe Tissues for Teething Relief & Cleaning Infant & Toddler Teeth - Baby Tooth Wipes w/Xylitol for Ages 0-12 Months & Up (Grape, 20 Count, 3 Pack)

My pedodontist told me that in a small percentage of cases (perhaps 5%), breastfeeding during the night can cause tooth decay in babies. I was surprised to hear that, because I've read so much about the subject, and most babies with teeth can safely breastfeed at night and not develop decay. However, my pedodontist has seen tooth decay firsthand in the babies of very well-informed parents who did everything 'by the book'. She wanted to make sure that I knew that although the risk is low, my baby could be at risk (and there's no way to know if your child has the kind of teeth that will be at risk - until the damage is done). For this reason, she recommended I stop breastfeeding during sleep hours (when a baby's production of protective saliva is greatly reduced).I was reluctant to do that, however, because my baby won't drink cow's or goat's milk (and hates formula), and I produce much more milk at night than during the day. Given those circumstances, she recommended this product, and my baby LOVES the taste of both the apple and the grape. **BEFORE** I breastfeed her in the wee hours, I wipe out her mouth thoroughly with a Spiffie. The package doesn't say anything about this particular usage of the product, but I trust my pedodontist, who explained that by coating the teeth with zylitol (a wood sugar), you give the mouth's bacteria something to eat rather than the natural sugar in breastmilk. Somehow (the details of it escape me), this prevents the bacteria from attacking the baby's teeth. It's still not as safe as brushing the teeth, then not breastfeeding until daylight hours, but it helps mitigate the risk of decay.The only downside is that my baby chomps on my finger -hard!- sometimes. It helps if I use a finger on my other hand to prop her mouth open. Another bonus is that the Spiffies really do seem to placate her if she's teething. She'll really chomp down, suck hard on the Spiffie, and then relax and sleep better after being 'Spiffied'. Just be careful that you have a good hold on the Spiffie; my baby loves it so much she sucks really hard, and might swallow it if I'm not careful.

Works good and my infant loved the taste

I am actually using this product on my adult teeth! I am hoping to remove stains from my teeth with these wipes. I will find out if I am successful after my next dental visit.

I use these for my infant as they constantly demand a drink, usually milk which in fact is not great for teeth.These have Xylitol which is a sugar alcohol, the same reason I myself chew orbit.In other products this chemical stimulates the taste receptors for sweetness, has no fructose and and has negligible effects on blood sugar and insulin - info for diabetics - worth reading into for his group.SO! Studies have determined that xylitol boosts dental health and helps prevent tooth decay!One of the leading risk factors for tooth decay is an oral bacteria called Streptococcus mutans. This is the bacteria most responsible for plaque. excess plaque encourages your immune system to attack the bacteria in it. This can lead to inflammatory gum diseases like gingivitis.Bacteria in your mouth feed on glucose from food, but they can not use xylitol. As you replace sugar with xylitol this reduces the food available to them,BUT WAIT THERE IS MOREthe bacteria can't use it BUT they still ingest it. After absorbing xylitol, they are unable to take up sugar, basically like if you were to sew your mouth shut - so the bacteria then dies as it is unable to eat!Thus there are the benefits for you- certain bad bacteria in your mouth will die! thus saving your teeth!

This is our third baby to use Spiffies at the recommendation of our pediatric dentist. Our baby loves the flavor and looks forward to us using the Spiffy. She is currently 9 months old. With strict supervision, we often give her the Spiffy while we are changing her diaper. It keeps her from wanting to crawl away, takes care of dental hygiene, and lets us see her sweet smiling face all at the same time. We never got into a good routine of cleaning our firstborn's teeth as an infant (he turned out fine dental wise, no cavities yet at age seven), but using Spiffies has made it easier to fall into a routine daily dental cleaning with babies two, three, and four.

My baby and I both love these! She finish the first box no problem and when we tried the second box the teething wipes where DRY!! I didn’t know what to do a checked all of them and realized they were all the same ! Sucked because the first box worked well . I’m giving this rating because if I re order how would I know I’m not getting dry ones again 🥲

These are the best tooth wipes out there! At least that I've tried. They are a little sticky, so I use a baby wipe to wipe my hands off when I'm finished, or simply wash my hands. Other than that, they are perfect! We are using a toothbrush now as my toddler is now 18 months old and has a full mouthful of teeth, but I used these for his first few teeth. They are super gentle, they have an awesome texture to clean the teeth (which also makes it so they don't slip out of your hands easily), and they are flavored. The Xylitol is awesome and it actually felt good when I rubbed baby's gums with them as he was still teething. They come individually wrapped so it's easy to keep a few in your purse or diaper bag. Even though we use a toothbrush now, I still have a few on hand for when we travel.

My 9 month old has been using these for a few months & loves them. She loves the taste & its really easy to wipe her gums & teeth
