Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children7 years agoA. Once the baby gets teeth u can start using finger tooth brush. Wash the brush in water and wear it on your finger and gently brush the baby teeth. This is called wet brushing. Generally babies won't need a toothpaste until they are two years old or atleast 18 months old as they should know how to goggle before using a toothpaste. After which you can use fluoride free toothpaste in peanut size quantity to brush the kids teeth. Make sure they don't swallow more toothpaste that is why a peanut size quantity is recommended. While choosing the toothbrush make sure the bristles are soft and the tooth brush handle is angular for easy accessibility and reaching till the ends.

Bhurabi BharaliMom of a 11 yr 7 m old boy7 years agoA. you should start cleaning his teeth from the day the first tooth has sprouted... clean his teeth and mouth everyday twice... use finger brush for the starting... then you can move to the baby brush later on when the baby have all the teeth... especially the inside one.. Later you can go for any kid toothbrush with soft bristle... there are many kid brushes available in the market... they have mentioned the age group in it too. . please select as per the kids age group.. don't use toothpaste until he knows how to spit out... You can just brush his teeth with water and toothbrush only till then ..
