1 year old baby tooth brushing?

If your 1-year-old baby has teeth (usually 6-8 teeth), you can start brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled baby toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste (containing 500-1000 ppm fluoride). Because your baby can't spit yet, tilting their head slightly to the side while brushing allows the foam to naturally drip away. It's enough to watch for brush cleanliness and not leaving excess toothpaste on it; rinsing is unnecessary. Early brushing attempts may be met with resistance — brushing while holding your baby on your lap (knees), or accompanying it with a short story instead of singing, can make it easier. Scheduling the first dental checkup at age 1 is ideal.
