When do i start to clean my babies teeth?
they say to start as soon as the first tooth comes through for my son that was a little under 3 mths i went to the baby section and gerber makes the ones that you place on your finger with little soft bristles my son now at 18 mths knows that we brush his teeth in the morning and at night its good to start early and get them in the habit
You should start now. You can use a washcloth or a very soft toothbrush. If you want to use toothpaste (sometimes it makes them like the whole experience more) then make sure to get one with no fluoride and with xylitol – the xylitol will help protect her teeth without the use of fluoride. You should also start giving fluoride supplements if you don’t give her tap water or there is no fluoride in the tap water you give her.
