As soon as your baby’s teeth appear, clean them with gauze or a soft face washer wrapped around your fingers, or brush them with a child-sized, soft toothbrush.
How do I clean my child’s teeth?
From 12 months you can start brushing your child’s teeth with a soft children’s toothbrush using tap water only, or a non-fluoride toothpaste. From 18 months to 6 years you can start brushing your child’s teeth with low fluoride toothpaste designed for children, using a pea-sized amount. Parents will need to assist children to brush up until the age of 6 or 7.
