A. Hi no you should start brushing your kid's teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts in the oral cavity.. there's no need to wait for anything.. start using silicon finger toothbrush twice daily.

A. Yes After the age of 15 to 17 months you can start brushing the teeth of your child on regular basis just that you need to make sure that you only buy fluoride free toothpaste it doesn’t matter which company are you going for and a soft kids-based tooth brush that’s what you need to go for
