A. as soon as there are 3-4 teeth you can introduce brushing as a habit. please get a baby brush with soft bristle and start with a baby toothpaste.

A. usually they say you must start brushing the teeth as soon as one appears. but the sooner you start the better. you can use a toothpaste once you think your baby knows how to spit it out. use a finger brush initially and wipe the teerh clean. then you can move on to a baby brush with soft bristles. use a fluoride free toothpaste itself till about 3 years of age. tyen use a toothpaste with a bit of fluoride till 6 years. after that regular toothpaste is fine. start with just a drop of toothpaste. then increase gradually. brush twice a day for healthy teeth. night time brushing is really important in kids.

A. Well depends on the child. Usually they start after 2 years. At the moment You can start using silicon finger brush to clean your baby's teeth with water. Make sure you clean teeth after every feed to prevent tooth decay and cavities in later stage.
