Tooth brushing can begin as soon as your baby’s teeth begin to show – but it won’t look like your version of toothbrushing straight away! Our Teething Experts share their top tips for brushing your little one's teeth.
Tooth brushing can begin as soon as your baby’s teeth begin to show – but it won’t look like your version of toothbrushing straight away!
Starting early helps to establish good habits, and with the right approach you can make toothbrushing fun. Use a child-sized toothbrush or a baby finger brush and squeeze a small amount of baby toothpaste onto the brush. Most supermarkets and chemists will sell the baby brushes and paste. Your dentist will also give you some after the first visit.
You should register you baby with a dentist when the first teeth start erupting, however, not all dentists take on new NHS patients. It’s a good idea to take your baby along to your appointments so they get used to going.
When your baby turns 1, it can be a good time to make an appointment. This is primarily to get them used to going to the dentist and keeping their teeth clean.
