Although you don't necessarily need to brush them yet, you should start cleaning your infant's teeth as soon as he gets his first tooth. At first, you can just use a wash cloth to clean your infant's teeth. As he gets more, you can use a soft children's toothbrush.

Yes, you can brush your infants teeth but do not use any toothpaste, just either use a clean, wet (warm) washcloth or a soft bristled toothbrush gently across them. That should do the trick!

Yes, get the infant toothbrushes, and ask your doctor what they recommend using (NOT adult-formula toothpastes). Its not so much for keeping their teeth clean, its mostly for getting them used to a toothbrush so they will have an easier time developing it as a habit when they get older.

I dont have a kid, but once those teeth break through those pink little gums, get out a rubber finger brush and toothpaste. Tooth decay and cavities can occur at any age. Not only that, but it is good to teach them to brush their teeth when they are young.

Yup...it helps them learn to develop good oral hygiene and keeps their teeth healthy. In the baby isle at any store, you can find special toothbrushes and tooth pastes just for infants/toddlers.

Yes i did this...something you can do lightly to start the experience of learning to take care of teeth. I mean, not when the baby had only 2 teeth etc...

I did when my children were infants. Use one of those toothbrushes made for babies and there is special baby "tooth paste" too. NEVER use regular toothpaste on a baby.

Yes everyday ...you can buy tooth paste and teeth brush for infants in many store.
My son like it because of the taste (bubble gum)

Yup...with a soft cloth and gentle toothpaste until they're about a year, then with a soft toothbrush. Let them have a tiny toothbrush to "play" with at about age 2 (with supervision) so they get used to manipulating it.
