I started my baby’s oral care regime as soon as he got his first tooth. But I should have started even before his baby teeth erupted through the gums. My toddler and I are going to show you how to brush a baby’s gums using a wet washcloth, gauze, or a finger toothbrush. Plus how to brush baby teeth by following a daily routine where you brush your teeth together. Also… what I’ve learned about when to start brushing baby’s teeth & gums, issues regarding fluoride toothpaste, and what to do when your baby doesn’t like teeth brushing.
Baby Teeth
It's important to regularly clean your infant's teeth and gums -- because bacteria builds up after each feeding. Plus, you want to provide a good foundation for your baby's first set of teeth to grow properly. Then, after your baby's first tooth appears, you should start getting your baby used having their teeth brushed -- so they will become accustomed to good oral health routines and become eager to brush their own teeth. Here, moms share their personal tips & experiences dealing with teething issues, brushing a baby's teeth, and their favorite products for baby teeth.
