Dental hygiene should start when your baby starts teething.
- Set a good example by letting him/her watch you while you brush your teeth.
- Clean your baby’s teeth once a day before bedtime.
- Use a soft baby brush or your finger wrapped in a damp facecloth.
- Brush or wipe the tongue.
- Ask your dentist whether it is necessary to give fluoride supplements.
- Limit your baby’s intake of sweets and ensure that your baby has a healthy diet.
