When should I start brushing my baby’s teeth? 


As soon as their first tooth appears — usually around 6 months!

 Use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush with a smear of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice) and brush twice a day.

Starting early helps protect those little teeth from cavities!

 First dental visit? Bring your baby to the dentist by their first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. It’s the best way to catch any early issues and get comfortable with dental care from the start!

✨ Early habits = healthy smiles for life!

If you are registered as a patient and have recently had a baby, please contact us to get them set up on our system on 01530 510533.
