A. Use finger toothbrush. Wash the brush in water and wear it on your finger and gently brush the baby teeth. This is called wet brushing. Generally babies won't need a toothpaste until they are two years old or atleast 18 months old as they should know how to goggle before using a toothpaste. After which you can use fluoride free toothpaste in peanut size quantity to brush the kids teeth. Make sure they don't swallow more toothpaste that is why a peanut size quantity is recommended. While choosing the toothbrush make sure the bristles are soft and the tooth brush handle is angular for easy accessibility and reaching till the ends. If u r giving any iron supplements it could be staining the teeth. Consult with your pediatrician and get a different syrup.
