Dental Care

When your baby’s first tooth comes in, it’s time to start brushing. To properly care for your baby’s teeth, follow these rules that mimic your oral care:

Brush your baby’s teeth with a soft infant toothbrush. Use water and a tiny bit of infant/child toothpaste.

When your baby’s teeth touch, you can begin flossing between them.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that you take your baby to a pediatric dentist at the earliest of these dates:

  • The date your baby’s first tooth appears
  • Your baby’s first birthday
