1. **Age**: Begin brushing your baby's teeth as soon as the first tooth comes in, usually around 6 months of age.
2. **Toothbrush**: Use a soft-bristled, small-headed toothbrush designed for infants.
3. **Toothpaste**: For children under 3 years old, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste the size of a grain of rice. For children 3 years and older, use a pea-sized amount.
4. **Brushing Technique**: Gently brush in small, circular motions, ensuring you clean all surfaces of the teeth and along the gum line.
5. **Frequency**: Brush your baby’s teeth twice a day, especially before bedtime.
6. **Supervision**: Always supervise your child’s brushing to ensure proper technique and to prevent swallowing toothpaste.
Regular dental care from an early age helps establish good oral hygiene habits.
