When do I start brushing my little one's teeth

Lang Dental Group

We’re bunkering down just like all of you. We thought we’d take this time to answer some questions we frequently get asked. Video #1 (bear with us we are new at this 😂).

First Video Question: When should I start brushing my child’s teeth? -WHEN THE FIRST TOOTH APPEARS. Although it’s a good idea to start brushing gums even before the first tooth so your little one gets used to the sensation. -BRUSHES TO USE: finger brushes (like The Brushies), silicone brushes (like Nuk), or infant bristle toothbrushes (Oral-B) -START FLUORIDE RIGHT A WAY. Use. a rice-size or smear amount (until age 3, then pea size). -BRUSH MORNING AND NIGHT. Start a routine and stick with it, it will make it a lot easier as they become toddlers if you already have a routine established. Attempt to brush right before bed after they have finished their last bottle/meal, however, I know this is difficult, so just do the best you can. Feel free to ask questions, we’re here to help!
