BABY'S ORAL HYGIENE

Even when your baby is two months old and still toothless, you should keep her gums healthy and clean.
Gently wipe her gums with a wet, clean, soft cloth every day. When her teeth do start coming in, gently clean them using a soft, baby-sized toothbrush and only water. Avoid using toothpaste until your baby is three years old, or understands and is able to spit it out and not swallow it. A fingertip toothbrush may be much easier to use than a regular toothbrush, and your baby may be more inclined to let you put your finger in her mouth than a toothbrush. When two teeth come in next to each other, start flossing between them once a day.
