How To Care for Your Baby’s Milk Teeth

You must take care of your child’s baby teeth from the minute the first tooth erupts. Here are some tips that you can use to keep your child’s teeth decay and cavity-free.

Key takeaway:

  • Start brushing your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth comes in. 
  • Teach them how to brush by themselves as they grow older and always supervise brushing.
  • Use children’s fluoride toothpaste and buy a soft children’s toothbrush.
  • An orthodontic consultation can take place as early as the age of seven.
  • Be sure that your child visits the dentist at least once every six months.

Take your child to the dentist for checkup by their first birthday. Once milk teeth erupt, teach them proper oral hygiene.
