Dentinox

Soothing common baby concerns

Colic and cradle cap are very common in young babies and usually harmless. Dentinox Colic Drops contain simeticone (an anti-foaming agent) to help release trapped wind that can cause colicky crying, and can be added to feeds. The Cradle Cap Shampoo and Scalp Oil gently help soften and remove the flakes of cradle cap — never pick at the scalp. If you're worried about your baby, your public health nurse or GP can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Dentinox Colic Drops?

They can be given with feeds as directed on the pack. Simeticone works physically on trapped wind and isn't absorbed into the body.

How do I treat cradle cap?

Use the Cradle Cap Shampoo or soften the scalp with oil, then gently loosen flakes — never pick or scratch the scalp.

When should I see a doctor?

Seek advice if your baby seems unwell, colic is severe or persistent, or a scalp problem spreads, weeps or looks infected.
