As pediatric dentists, we cannot stress enough the importance of early and consistent oral health care for infants.

The foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles is laid during these crucial early years. Parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers must work together to ensure optimal oral hygiene for infants. Firstly, clean your baby's gums with a soft, damp cloth after feedings, even before teeth emerge. Once teeth start to appear, usually around six months, transition to a soft-bristle infant toothbrush. Using low Fluoride toothpaste in beginning in a rice size amount, or better still, with the help of Pediatric dentist, you may start with 1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste to set the right foundation of early oral hygiene habits.
