  2. Let’s learn about some tips that will help you take good care of your child’s first teeth.

  3. Pre-Teething the best time to take care of their new teeth is before they erupt, or show, above the gum line. It’s ideal to wipe their gums with either an infant gum massager or a clean, damp cloth. Doing this ensures that any harmful bacteria will be removed.

  4. Once your child’s teeth come out, it’s advisable to brush them using an infant toothbrush, along with a small amount of toothpaste and water. Young children have the tendency to swallow toothpaste, so make sure they spit it out after brushing. Only use fluoride toothpaste when they’re old enough not to swallow it. Brushing & Flossing
