Before your baby's teeth erupt, use a soft, clean piece of gauze to clean your baby's gums after feeding.
When the first tooth erupts, around 6 months, begin gently brushing twice a day with a very soft-bristled child-size toothbrush. Use a very small amount of children's fluoride toothpaste (the size of a grain of rice). Make sure they spit out the toothpaste.

As soon as a child's first tooth appears (usually 4 to 6 months of age), you should schedule a visit to your dentist.
ADA guidelines suggest that the first dental visit should happen within 6 months of the first tooth eruption, and before their first birthday. If you child has had no teeth come in by 10 months, schedule a dental visit.
A baby is born with 20 primary (baby) teeth in their jaw. They usually begin coming through the gums 4 to 6 months of age. By age 3, most children will have a full set of 20 primary teeth. Tooth decay is the most common childhood dental problem, which leads to cavities, but it is preventable.
Sugary drinks are the most common cause of pediatric tooth decay and cavities.
