Dental care for infants?...?
YES...FOR SURE U DEF. WANT TO JUST GET HIM USED TO THE WHOLE IDEA. AND YOU ARE HELPING TO STIMULATE THE GUMS AND KEEP THEM HEALTHY. JUST USE A WARM RAG AND BE GENTLE. MY SON JUST GOT HIS 2 BOTTOM IN AND I STARTED AROUND 2 MONTHS ALSO WITH THE WIPING AND NOW HE TOTALLY KNOWS WHAT WE ARE DOING AND HE IS USE TO IT SO HE DOESNT FIGHT IT....GOOD LUCK..AND OH DONT USE ANY OF THE PASTE YET. JUST WATER.
Reply:you can if you want but don't stress too much. But as soon as those teethe start coming in you need to get a baby tooth brush
Reply:Baby books would tell you yes, and others know.





You are more likely to give your baby something from brushing his gums than you are to prevent anything.





When he graduates to solid food, the kind you have to chew, it is time to strat thinking about oral care.





Other wise you need only worry if he has really bad breath. In which case a bit of mint jelly will go a really long ways.
Reply:You should start cleaning your baby's teeth and gums when the first tooth appears. You can use a soft, lint-free cloth or a baby toothbrush. Clean the teeth morning and night to get into a good dental hygiene routine.


The use of toothpaste is not recommended for children under 2 years.
