Tips for Caring for Baby’s Teeth
• CLEAN: Baby’s gums w/ damp washcloth after eating/drinking.
• BRUSH: First tooth, with soft brush and water twice daily.
• NO BOTTLE: In Bed; don’t let baby fall asleep with bottle.
• GIVE WATER: Stay away from sugary drinks like juice and soda
• DON’T SHARE UTENSILS/FOOD: This will spread germs from your mouth to theirs which can cause cavities.
