When to begin brushing
Even before teeth begin to erupt, thoroughly clean your infant's gums after each feeding with a water-soaked infant washcloth or gauze pad to stimulate the gum tissue and remove food. When the baby's teeth begin to erupt, brush them gently with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush using a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste. more baby dental tips

Your pediatric dentist will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged thumb-sucking habit more baby dental tips
