When to start brushing?

Do you have a little one and worry about when you should start brushing their teeth?

The answer is, it’s never too early!

Even before the teeth erupt you can wipe the mouth with a soft wet cloth to remove any build up of milk on the gums.

When the teeth erupt, you can start brushing with toothpaste. You only need a small amount, the size of a grain of rice. You should brush two times a day. Make sure that your child goes to bed with nothing but water after their night brushing.

If their teeth are touching, make sure to floss! Sometimes, even little babies have teeth that are close enough to need flossing!
