Baby tooth care?

Baby tooth care begins as soon as the first tooth comes in. When the first tooth appears, brush twice daily (after breakfast in the morning and after the last feeding/meal at night) with a soft, baby-specific toothbrush and only a grain-of-rice sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. By age three, the amount of toothpaste increases to pea-sized. Before teeth come in, you can wipe the gums once daily with a clean, moist cloth. Using a bottle for sleep (especially with milk or fruit juice) can lead to early childhood cavities; having only water in the bottle at bedtime is healthiest. The first dental visit should be made within 6 months of the first tooth appearing or by age 1 at the latest.
