A. Hello Ma’am After the age of 1.5 years it is always recommended to start brushing your child’s teeth and you should go for a fluoride free toothpaste till the age of five years because kids initially do not know how to gargle and spit out which is my fluoride free paste are recommended because that way even if a child in takes the paste and does not gargle or spit it out it is completely safe so need not worry about it

Q. #asktheexpert Mam, good morning. I would like to ask you about my Daughter, Samaira. She is 2.7 years old. We want her to learn how to brush her teeth with infant toothpaste. She does not like the taste of it and she does not like to brush her teeth, which is a concern for us as a parents. She is very reluctant to brush her teeth, please suggest how can we encourage her to follow and build oral hygiene. Thank you.
