Oral Care and Infants
Your infant’s oral care routines should start immediately. It’s important to clean baby’s mouth in order to remove bacteria. Once teeth start to show, brushing and flossing can begin with just a smudge of toothpaste on an infant’s toothbrush. This is also the time to find a suitable dentist and commence regular checkups. A child can start learning to clean their own teeth when they are around 3.
Key takeaways
– Start oral care straight away
– Locate a dentist once teeth come through
– Brush and floss twice a day once teeth arrive
Teeth can last a lifetime so it’s important to get things right. Give your dentist reason to smile by giving your child the right support from the start.
