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!
