#AskTheExpert Hi doctor, my son is 14 months old having 4 teeth top and 3 teeth down. iam trying to brush his teeth with finger brush. Though he doesn't like brushing I somehow manage brushing but cleaning his tongue with tongue cleaner provided on the back of finger brush is becoming a hectic task. He nvr allows me to clean his tongue. can I use a cotton cloth and clean his tongue which I used to do earlier when he was a baby. when can I start brushing his teeth and cleaning his tongue without him making a fuss.

Accepted Answer

now you can start using a normal toothbrush along with a grain size of kids each appropriate toothpaste as a child is already oneplus
you can use a cotton cloth but try to use a toothbrush or tongue cleaner only make brushing the game and let your child brush your teeth first
