Taking care of baby's teeth

One of the major milestones in a baby's development is the arrival of the first tooth. But how to take care of baby's teeth? We tell you everything.

  • It is not because they will eventually fall out that we should neglect the care of your baby's teeth!
  • Brushing your baby's teeth is the first essential step in ensuring good dental health.
  • Every night before bedtime, you can clean your child's teeth with an infant toothbrush and a bit of kid's toothpaste.
  • Your child will start to brush their teeth on their own around the age of 3, with your help.
  • To prevent cavities, nothing is better than adopting good eating habits from a young age!

Ok two things one I have 20 week sono tomorrow wahoo see her real face. Second part is I’m crushed my daughter lost her first tooth told nobody gave zero indication of it being loose or anything so it’s gone I checked her room. I’m crushed she’s my first so my firstborn first big moment gone forever. Anyhow I want to make it special I told my mom to tell her the tooth fairy will visit when she’s home so what’s a good amount for a kid who’s from a upper middle class family and is having a first big moment. 5?10? Also a gift separate from “parents”.

yes I thought he was to young for teeth to but his dr confirmed he is teething. He also has an epstein pearl right beside one of the teeth coming in. So that could be bothering him

Okay that’s makes me feel so much better I heard from other people that her tooth is supposed to be coming at 6 months and I’m like that’s next week. Have you tried anything to make your baby start crawling or you just going to wait and let her do it when she ready

My son just turned 5 years old, not long ago and he hasn't lost any teeth yet but I did find out he has ADHD which is probably much worse than losing a tooth. However, I am still looking for moms in Shreveport Louisiana to have him make some friends and me have some mommy friends lol.
