When should you start brushing your baby’s teeth?
You can start cleaning your baby’s mouth with a soft, damp cloth even before their first tooth emerges. This will help them get used to having their mouth cleaned. Once their first tooth emerges, you can begin gently brushing their teeth with a baby toothbrush and a smear of children’s toothpaste. Clean their mouth and brush their teeth at least twice a day.
