The best way is to just wash them off with a wet washrag. You can also buy that little toothbrush thing that goes on your finger and BABY toothpaste, but a washrag works just as well.

A wet cloth to wipe the baby's teeth and tongue is all you need right now. There is a toothbrush available that fits in the finger to clean the teeth but I have personally never used it. Just make sure that the baby does not take the bottle to bed. Formula milk can damage the teeth.

I trust the washcloth factor. i bought a toothbrush finger brush gum brush equipment and toothpaste and have been given all waiting for my son's teeth to come again in. he's 10 months old with 7 pearly whites and albeit, I merely wipe them with a wash textile while i think of approximately it, which shamefully is merely as quickly as an afternoon or perhaps another day. :/ in spite of if, this is substantial which you do no longer permit your infant pass to sleep with a bottle or a mouthful of milk or juice now that a the teeth has are available in. My son's pediatrician mentioned that's greater substantial than cleansing standard, by way of fact the pooled liquid decays teeth very straight away. He pronounced giving my son a rapid sip of water after each and each feeding and incredibly in the previous going to mattress to rinse off the teeth. playstation , he HATES having his teeth messed with and that i'm getting biten truly difficult if i'm no longer careful. in spite of if this is a needed evil.

There are pharmacies and such that u can get a whole baby teeth cleaning kit. It's safe for them to swallow too. Most starter kits come w/ a plexible piece of rubber that goes on your finger. So as not to ruin they're enamel. Also, don't put baby to bed w/ a bottle. I've seen bad "bottle rot" from people putting baby to bed w/ bottle.

Depending on the age, it is sufficient to just use a wet washcloth to wipe the teeth and gums.

It depends how old they are. if they only have a couple teeth just wipe them with a wash cloth. but my son has 9 teeth and i gave him his own electric little pooh toothbrush. he loves it. just use floride free toothpaste and let them do it themselves (if they are old enough) and watch them.
