Many new parents wonder when
it’s the right time to start cleaning their baby’s teeth. They should start cleaning the
baby’s mouth before their teeth come in. Start cleaning your baby’s mouth when
they are just a few days old. To clean your baby’s mouth by rubbing the upper
and lower gums with a clean, damp washcloth. They also make infant toothbrushes
that slip over your finger; you can find these at your local drug store. Repeat
this once in the morning and once before bed.
Once you child begins the
teething process, brush their teeth with a child’s toothbrush with a pea sized
amount of toothpaste and floss in between the teeth. Continue this process until your child is
about 6 to 7 years old; this is the time when you want them to start brushing on
their own, with your supervision!
