#asktheexperts How I brush my 1.6 year baby?

A. For most children, all 20 baby teeth arrive by 3 years of age. To prevent tooth decay, brush teeth twice a day, avoid sugary foods and drinks, and don’t put children to bed with bottles. Use low-fluoride toothpaste from 18 months of age. Children should see the dentist at around 12 months of age or when their first tooth appears.
