My Baby's Teeth Cleaning

"When should I start cleaning my baby's teeth?" This is a good habit to start early! The teeth must be cleaned as they erupt. Use a damp washcloth or a toothbrush. If your health care provider agrees, use a tiny dab of fluoride toothpaste.

Tooth brushing is definitely a parents job in the preschool years. Children are usually able to brush their teeth well when they are 8 years old. Be sure to check your child's teeth regularly for any chalky white or brown spots which could be the beginning of tooth decay.
