Don’t wait until your little one has their first tooth,
proper dental care beings before your baby’s first tooth arrives.
So what should you do before your child has teeth? You can
run a damp washcloth over your child’s gums each day. This will help to remove harmful
bacteria that are sticking around. When you start seeing teeth, use an infant
toothbrush using water and a little bit of tooth paste. Around age 2, most
children can spit after brushing. Make sure to supervise your child while they
brush until they are around the age of 5.
