A. please start immediately. brushing of kids teeth should start as soon as the first tooth erupts in the child's mouth. use a grain size of kids age appropriate toothpaste like colgate kids, cheerio or kidodent and brush twice daily.

A. Hi mommy You have to start cleaning the oral cavity with water everyday after giving food to the child. also after first tooth eruption you have to start cleaning the teeth of the child at least two times per day either with your finger or cotton cloth. after few more tooth eruption it is advisable to go for finger toothbrush initially you have to use baby toothpaste of any good brand and take only very small quantity of tooth paste pea size quantity to do to tooth brushing
