When should I start brushing my babys teeth?

You should begin regular cleanings even before your baby has teeth. After each breast feeding (or bottle-feeding) use a clean, damp washcloth to gently rub your baby’s gum tissue. You may wrap the material around one finger to make it easier to wipe your baby’s mouth.

When your baby’s first tooth comes in, switch to a baby toothbrush.  They have just a few bristles and are very soft.
