Brush Teeth Twice a Day

Even before teeth first erupt, take a warm washcloth and wipe/wash your child’s gums and tongue. As soon as you see teeth forming, take a soft-bristled toothbrush, and brush the teeth you see with fluoridated toothpaste. Help your child brush their teeth until they have the dexterity to do so themselves. Around the time they can tie their shoes, they can probably start brushing their own teeth.
