A. when the baby has a couple of teeth and is able to spit you can use toothpaste for the baby. until then brush with plain water. start with a finger brush. no need to use toothpaste. Primary (milk) teeth need as much care as permanent teeth do. Early dental hygiene can help prevent cavities. Here are some tips for your baby’s oral care: Clean your baby’s gum line with a gauze or soft cloth. Give foods rich in vitamins and minerals to help build strong teeth. Your baby requires calcium, fluoride, phosphorus, and vitamin C, which are essential for healthy teeth and gum development. Avoid sugary foods and drinks as they decay teeth.Get a dental checkup done once the baby gets a set of 20 teeth.Make your baby drink from a cup and not a bottle. Drinking liquids from bottles or sippers decay teeth as the slow flow of milk and juices collects in the baby’s mouth and teeth, and remains there for a long time.As much as your baby would love it, avoid bottle feeding at night. The dripping of milk is broken into acid and gradually decays the teeth. Get the first dental checkup of your baby after 12 months or six months after the first tooth comes.Once your baby completes 18 months, you can help your baby start brushing their teeth.
