Your Baby's Oral Health Care

From the time your baby begins getting teeth it  is important to begin taking care of them.  Anywhere from the ages of 4 months to 2 years old parents should:

• Wipe gums with a soft washcloth after feeding.  This removes plaque and germs that cause tooth decay and gum disease.
• Once baby teeth come in, brush teeth two times a day with water and a soft-bristle toothbrush
• Schedule the first dental check-up before his/her first birthday
• Do not let your baby fall asleep while drinking milk with a bottle
