What can I do to ensure good oral hygiene for a baby who has started teething. Any products for mouth washing?
Answers:
Use a baby toothbrush, Oral B "Stages" range are excellent, and baby toothpaste. The best way to brush a baby/toddler/young child's teeth for them is to lay them on your knee, and support their head, then gently brush the surfaces of the teeth and the gums. Remember each tooth has five surfaces that need brushing. It is important for you to brush your childs teeth for them for a good few years, and once they have got the hang of it, continue to supervise brushing. Encourage young children to spit out toothpaste rather than swallowing.
You want to start cleaning your child's teeth 2-3 x a day. Do not use fluoride containing toothpaste and buy the special baby toothbrush. A lot of parents like to but their baby to sleep with a bottle. This can cause significant decay of your baby's teeth.
